During class on Thursday January 13 we talked about how different television shows feature mostly all white cast.  When trying to figure out shows and characters that would have been Asian or Hispanic I came to a blank.  I pride my self on watching lots of televisions and was surprised that it was so difficult for me to figure out characters that would have been from those races.  The only Hispanic character that I could think of was Betty from the show “Ugly Betty”.  The only Asian character that I could think of was Christiana Yang from “Grey’s Anatomy”.  I wouldn’t say that I am outraged by the lack of diversity on television, but I feel that having a lot of white characters and a lack of different races it helps fuel discrimination in the United States.  Also during class Professor Banjo asked us to identify what race each person was that she showed us.  Every time I thought I knew exactly what the person was, but in reality I was wrong.  I feel that by featuring a more diverse television cast people would be able to think outside of the box of the four main races and be able to accept all the different ethnic groups there are.  I know this is easier said than done, because a lot of time if there is a minority person on television they are portrayed as a stereotype.  My proposal is when casting directors go to cast a show they look at the acting and not the color of their skin.  This would create roles for everyone and not having to type cast a role.  I hope that in years to come in the television industry they have a more diverse cast and feature anyone no matter the color of their skin.
