And I know what your going to say "Every other channel IS for whites". But not for whites only like for the blacks, latinos, and asians. Every predominately white show on TV now HAS to have at least one or two "minority" characters. Heck, look at Grey's Anatomy. Whereas most black shows only have one white character per season. And the asian channel doesn't even bother to show white people like we bother to show them. I am just stating how unfair it is for whites these days when this generation of whites had nothing to do with the whites 40-400 years ago.

The answer to that is racism. Allot of people don't see it as so, but it is.... Racism goes both ways. We're just the "Superior" race so anything programed toward only us is racist to the "inferior" races. I think its BULL..... we're not superior to any one else.... nor or they inferior and if they can have their own TV stations we should be able to as well. We are all equal and hey the truth is we all don't like the same stuff! So the blacks have BET cause MTV is too "white" as is CMT. Now the Hispanics have MTV TRES (3) good for them....but what about us people who think MTV is a bit to "HIP-HOP"? were just outta luck!

BET is for everyone,but based on blacks,the asian channel speak Asian so other races can't understand them.And i'm sure theres plenty of Latino channels,like soap operas. Me being everything but white have to disagree wit you.What about Friends or Sienfield or Will and grace there is only white people.I think we have come far on diversity and its a good thing

Grey's Anatomy has a cast of African-Americans because it's creator is an African American woman! She has the right (and most definitely should exercise it) to create a show with people of color in which we are not portrayed stereotypically (thugs, gangstas, hyper-sexual, etc.). However, different shows and stations are created to feed every interest. And just to show you that Caucasians are shown in different lights, compare "Roseanne" with "Laguna Beach" (who falls into the category of Seinfeld and Friends having no minorities). If you don't want to watch BET, TVOne, or Telemundo...TURN THE CHANNEL!!!

Oh, SHUT UP! Grey's anatomy is a black show, ok. It is about a black surgeon and all his other friends and colleagues of different races, including the main character Grey.
Feel better now?

there is nothing special about the whites. I am white myself.we don't get into other countries tax free and have motels and stores handed to us to own. we weren't inslaved and expect to be handed to handover fist. the asians are so slick with their coputer skills the whaites let em ruin this country in the name of progress.
so see there isn't anything special about the whites.

Let's just say it's the trend of the shows today...but remember that you have to learn to appreciate these things if you just look deeper...Sometimes you dont have to be selfish...Give and you'll receive more...Known people dont have to be recognized..coz they already are....let's give some room for others...
