I know that the many "entertainers" were a behind the door when brain cells were handed out, but I caught the end of the Channel 4 news tonight. A piece about Lennie Henry who has apparently written a book about the lack of diversity on TV. Apparently, the deficit of non-whites on TV is turning viewers off.
Really?? I would suggest that since white people currently outnumber non-whites 4:1 in the population the reason for people deserting TV channels, if that is true, is that the proportion represented by the majority is under represented.
Earlier this evening I have seen two programmes where the numbers were turned around the opposite way. What Henry was mainly talking about I think was that he feels all the prizes (that entertainers give to each other) go mainly to those with white skins. This may be so, I and I would guess the majority of viewers, don't give a damn about these incestuous events, we just want to be informed and entertained.
I think we really are living in La La land.
