Broadcasting a World of Whiteness
In" Broadcasting a World of Whiteness" Jon Caramanica points out how most television shows and just television in general isn't really that diverse. There a lot of television shows that are not diverse and mostly stick to one race the whole time.This article includes some facts and quotes on things dealing with this problem that is talked about in the article. One detail that stood out was that "whiteness is too often invisible on television, so much that this fact is hardly ever pointed out, and for whatever advances." I think that there is not enough diveristy on the television and that shows that some things involving race just haven't changed that much over time. Many people don't really realize how undiverse television is. I think that this show is just a show of many shows that shows that the television networks would rather be undiverse and stick to one race rather than be diverse and have many different races. I guess television will never really be diverse if people don't start to press for a change and want things to change. This article makes me thinks that even though the show is all white women the show will be open to change since Ms.Dunham had said " if their is a second season she would address that there should be more women of color on the show." This article did make me think a little deeper about what is going on in the television world and how it seems as there is no need for more things to become more diverse. Will there be more and more complaints on the show "Girls" making the show change the way it is?
