This also ignores that Morgan Freeman and James Earl Jones are two of the most famous narrators alive. But white lib bubble is small and opaque.
That's a good point. This study and every study based upon similar bullshite, are always done by white libs. Look out black folks, the racist white libs are here to save the day again and let you know what your real life problems are for you.

Maybe because you aren't a white Liberal.

I'm not sure who I'd rather listen to on a nature doc: Morgan Freeman or David Attenborough.

Nature programs are one of the tragedies of woke culture. I used to love watching them until they basically turned into a late-night infomercial trying to sell me some shitty product. Just replace the spray on hair with climate change propaganda.

My bad, forgot the science caveat.
Also why I loved me some NatGeo titties back in the day.
For science.

Given the fact that they are subjected to constant brainwashing that encourages them to hate us, this actually makes sense, if true.

I have no problem with God's narration . . .

Or the nature channels are just flat out boring as shite. Maybe that’s why the ratings are bad

Bringing titillation to teenage boys since the 1920s or so.

Oprah, Dennis Haysbert, and Idris Elba have all narrated nature documentaries.

NatGeo?
More like "National Treasure."
That publication, along with the JC Penney catalog, did yeoman's work for so many back in the day

If you can't watch a nature film because the people narrating it are white, you just hate white people.
Also, traditionally, the people who produce these films are the same people who did the research, which is mostly white people.
And this is the British government doing this. Brits complain but they keep putting up with it. It's a sign that the native population is not in charge of their country. If that doesn't change, they will be annihilated.

.....British bullshite.
You want to see a place that has an obsessive woke culture, see Great Britain. Racial equity there in TV shows and movies is almost mandated. Black Roman Centurion. Black Viking Queens, etc

I watch a LOT of Youtube videos on science, nature, history, psychology, etc.
I don't care if the disembodied voice-over narration is a black male or a white male. However, I frequently stop watching the show if it's a female voice.
I don't think I'm alone. My radio station manager explained why they don't hire female disc jockeys. He showed me studies on 'retention of information' received by voice only lectures.
Two equal groups of listeners were in separate rooms and heard identical lectures. One group got it from a female voice and one from a male voice. Then they were given written exams to see what they retained. The scores were significantly higher from listeners who heard the male voice.
Every repetition had the same result. No one is sure why the difference but I find it extremely difficult to listen to a female voice without being able to visually see the person speaking.
