Racist TV

But they're probably trying to be anti-racist and all-inclusive.  Unfortunately, this only makes the shows seem more racist.  Oh well...

So I’ve noticed an interesting thing about the daytime court shows.  In most of the shows the judge and bailiff are a mixed duo (one member being black, the other being white).  Allow me to demonstrate…

Because this is America, found upon the ideals of white God-fearing Protestant men! But hey, we're sorry for the whole slavery thing, so you guys can have a piece of the action too. Oh yeah, feminist movement too, eh? Ok, we'll give, but not all the way.

Alternate arguments:

Only the unemployed are watching TV when these shows come on the air. Many of the unemployed are either black, women, old, old women, black women, old black women, etc.

There are more black judges because its fictional television. Everyone knows African-Americans are always on the receiving end of sentences.

Holly Evans used to be a man, which is why s/he's the only "female" bailiff.

Mathis and Devereux are hot for each other. Ferrer and Scott are not, however, because one of them is a minority.

P.S. I hope everyone knows what satire is, because this is it.

where are all the Asians? I don't have an answer as to why the things you pointed out are true, but you're quite observant and have way too much time on your hand.

You want to talk racist, how about that KFC commercial with African-Americans? Forwarding stereotypes like no other!

What about Judge David Young - white & his black FEMALE bailiff?

dont forget that extreme hakeem dumb mofo. the eye for an eye dude. that's such a racist show. the judge is white, the bailiff is this black dude. it's like watching old time tv, where the black character is acting in that jim crow style shit. pretty sad show.
