If they wanted to accurately depict interracial marriages it would be white guys with Asian women and latina women.



This is the truth! It’s far more likely to see a white/Latino or white/Asian couple than one where one partner is white and the other is black. Sadly, in their efforts to force “diversity” on us, we have commercials and programs where at least half of the couples represented are black/white. Where are all of the Asians and Latinos?

When all of these companies run out of money because no one is buying their products....and nobody is watching their terrible TV shows....they'll come running back to the whites to get our money. Everybody knows who keeps this country afloat.

Nah, when their business decisions bite them in the financial arse they will simply turn around and blame middle class white people for not watching the show because they are inherently racist, and then start trying to come for our jobs and livelihoods.

With cable vanishing in lieu of streaming services, ratings are becoming more and more irrelevant.


I'm waiting to see what happens when cutting the cord becomes more expensive than cable. It is already almost even.

Just started their new show "Home economics" and they really are pushing the mixed race lesbians as much as they can.



We watch America's Funniest Home Videos almost every Sunday night. The winning video last Sunday was terrible but it was from a gay couple. It was so obvious what the producers did.

Why can’t they just do what they have clearly done for decades and write in people of different ethnicities?

quote:

Walden cited an example of receiving a script centered on a white family with the assumption that the diversity would come with the neighbors. "Pass," she said. "That's not going to get on the air anymore because that's not what our audience wants. That's not a reflection of our audience, and I feel good about the direction we're moving."


So part of the family has to be a different ethnicity?

It’s crazy to me there are people making obnoxious 1% salaries that are making these illogical decisions

Thats what happens when the only feedback you see is moderated by Twatter, and all of your focus groups are pulled from SoCal.

I mean, Last Man Standing was their 2nd most popular show. They cancelled it but brought it back due to audience pressure. How does anything she says add up knowing that?

Good. Maybe when all the white woke actors, actresses, directors, etc. start losing jobs just because they're white, maybe they'll see the light.

A lot of them are giving up roles in the sake of virtue signaling. Don’t think they’re seeing the light any time soon, they’re too indoctrinated

Now enjoy your lower ratings and fewer advertising dollars because you are pushing an agenda rather than airing your best content.


These people are not living in or abiding by the rules of capitalism. The more we allow the govt to take from us, the more it will get recycled into liberal corporations. They will not be held in check by consumer demand any longer.. just by the desires and direction of who is feeding them government kickbacks, bribes, and taxpayer money. WAKE UP!!! THIS IS HAPPENING NOW. Ratings do not drive content anymore. They get most of their funds from the govt. Which is our money anyway. We are nothing but expendable cash cows, to milk when needed.

Produce shitty content, and the only audience that you have left are the ones that appreciate shitty content.

Modern Family was pretty much that network’s golden goose for at least six or seven of the first 12 or however many years it was on the air. It had a pretty diverse cast, so I wonder if they are trying to replicate that formula even though they never will replicate that success. To which I don’t begrudge them for that

However their hottest new show, Home Economics has a cast of like seven white people and one African-American woman.
