I'M NOT RACIST, I'M NOT PREJUDICED. But I'm so sick and tired of Hollywood completely ignoring that, I DONT KNOW, Asians exist, black people exist, Hispanic people exist...It adds insult to injury because it's not even funny. It's not even innovative. It's tired and trash.

All we get is the George Lopez Show (not even on air anymore) and stupid, HORRENDOUSLY INSULTING, Tyler Perry trash. I know there have been tiny speckles of other shows like Ugly Betty or even The Office that offer people with melanin in their skin, but believe me, they are few a far between and often canceled.

Is it TOO much to ask for a nice and diverse, well-rounded and intelligent comedy? And don't even try to offer up Olivia Munn as sufficing for diversity.

The only reason I watched this is because I thought The Office started at 8:30pm and instead it was this garbage.

I'm not interested in belittling people or making people feel bad, or playing the poor victimized colored person. I just wanted to air my opinion before the passion behind it wore it.
I wont check this thread again, so any insults or counter-arguments are a waste of your time.

Thanks.

It was not entirely white, as others have pointed out.

I think it was a great show. I don't know why we have to have quotas when it comes to art or entertainment. The show is a humorous depiction of a small slice of American life. I know plenty of white couples that are friends, so this show does not misrepresent anything.

Counting racial and national heritage in a cast indicates a deeper problem on the part of the viewer. I don't have a problem if a show is all black or all white or in-between (like this one).

I agree I don't are about the genetic make-up of cast members of a show so long as the show is enjoyable.

I couldn't agree more with you Movie_Guy25. I am not white and I enjoy this show. To me, a show is about the plot, and not about the skin color of the cast. I think people are just too sensitive.

I don't care what color the people are in the shows I watch. I just like actresses that are both talented and hot or hilarious. Leon is my favorite character on Curb and I think Gabrielle Union is hot and talented but she seems to just do movies.

However ratings dictate everything. I have never seen a black casted show land near top of ratings since Cosby Show. I think white people watch more tv than minorities.
