I know history quite well, and I’m plenty old. And nobody is being removed from any positive societal portrayal. The funniest part is it’s this exact same kind of complaining from minority groups that are why this is happening. People want to see themselves on TV. I don’t know why. I get nothing from seeing white guys on TV, regardless of how they’re portrayed. But there’s a subsection in every demographic that really really wants to see themselves. So they try to include everybody. Problem is that just changes who whines. The real solution is for people to stop needing to see themselves on TV to feel validated.
“I know history quite well,”
I wonder.
