Because if you look at all the white shows with minorities, the minorities are the weird and/or awkward ones, with thick accents Reason one. That goes for a lot of shows with mainly white casts with a minority in recurring role. Watch any show and you'll see and hear what i'm talking about. Also, minority women always play "exotic" roles.

2. The answer is in your question. It's never just a show. It's categorize as white or black shows. If shows were made with a cast from different races, it gets canceled. Of all the shows on TV on the 4 major networks, I think there's just one minority show, George Lopez. There's probably another, but I can't think of it.

If you're reading this answer, watch several TV shows and you'll see that what I'm saying is true. It's unfortunate.

Also, minority shows are not intended for the majority audience. That's why most of them are on CW, which called the alternative network.

Another reason is ad money. TV shows don't run very long if advertisers do not see the show making money for them. If there's no mass appeal (i.e. white majority), advertisers will not put money on that show. Chances are advertisers do not put money on minority shows, unless it's a hit (i.e. Everybody hates Chris).

Let me repeat, watch several shows and you'll see the unfortunate truth.

The Jew Run Media wants to appeal to the highest number of people possible. In today's society making blacks and women dumb and white males smart is taboo, because it was done in the olden days in a racist manner. Mostly, an idiot character will be a white man in most TV shows and commercials. The idiot character is usually used for comical purposes, and to make the audience feel smarter which makes them happy. Later on they will attribute the television show to feeling smarter, and happier and they will watch it, thus giving the show higher ratings, and the jews more offers for commercial slots. Also the happiness involved with being tricked into feeling smart will make you more suggestable so you will pay more attention to the commercials. Basically it is taboo to make the idoit character a minority or a woman and they need an idiot character for comical purposes, so they choose the evil white man thus offending the least amount of people.

White individuals are a majority in the country over 70% this implies they might discriminate in any variety as they're the final public. Minority in basic terms issues are made to keep away from discrimination or a lacking of opportunities to minorities simply by fact regardless of the final public of each little thing in a rustic will continually bypass to the final public team. for the final public 'white' to then create an all white ingredient wont make any experience

Because they're looking for an audience. In our current culture, making fun of white people is funny, particularly for the audiences that primarily black shows attract. However, it is now considered extremely offensive to make fun of black people: that would detract from the audience for a show, not add to it. It's all about capitalism...

The people who made the show are obviously insecure and feel threatened by white people in some way, and as a way of venting their deep-seeded emotions, the Television producers depict white people in a harlequin-like light. Personally, I feel that it's totally juvenile and rediculous. It is also a form of racism against white people. Can you imagine a white TV show depicting black people as idiots; it would clearly not go over in our P.C. society. Some people are insecure; they can dish out, but they can't take. Ultimately, the teasing does not bring us together; it tears the races apart.

I no. It's bull ****. It would be one thing if it was acceptable to have white movies and pay the **** out of the black people but when the shoe is on the other foot, holy **** the world's such a racist place. Look at it this way, they don't have the balls to say what they really want to people so they do it in a movie.

You see this kind of question instigates problems between people and then there's tension.

Most of the time they don't make them look that bad but the media's job is to sell a product and if black people want to see white people looking like idiots then the media will sell them just that.

because no one never does anything to stop it, if they do, here come Jesse Jackson, NAACP,AL Sharpton, aflcio,FBI,CIA,all the news net works, and plaster your face all over the news, and they label you a racist....but if the blacks make fun of whites ,we are told to shut up and deal with it, when really it's reversed discrimination , and it's still racism....but no one cares, and seem to realize that what our forefathers did, we shouldn't have to take the punishment for, I never had any slaves,and I'm not a racist person, but if people don't open their eye and stop what they are allowing to go on it's going to start all over again except this time the shoe will be on the other foot.

quick answer is the same tokenism that fuels black shows. every so-called black show has to have the token white guy or girl depending on the sex of the black star. It is supposed to help with the crossover market and make the show appealing to whites. let's be honest, the blacks doing these sows do not really control the product. quite often they are bad shows that just have the attraction of the black star.

Black people are always the bad guys on predominantly white shows, white people are always geeks on black shows. You see, this is why I avoid people, cats are much better, they don't care what colour you are so long as they get fed! Human beings just love abusing each other, no logic, no reason!
