I guess I don’t notice these things, I don’t notice when there is diversity in a show or when there is not. I don’t see color, race, or religion, I see characters. I guess that is how i live my life in general. I don’t see a person’s race or religion, I see who they are as a person.
There are many towns out there with lack of diversity. The town I grew up in you were either white or black. Now religion was a little more diverse, but not much. There were very few jews (I think I knew one family). Most everyone was catholic, some other christian religion, or not religious at all.
I get upset when people say a show needs to be more diverse. Why can’t a show depict a portion of the US? Why does everything have to revolve around race? When people make a big deal about it, I think it makes race and religion issues even worse. Just my personal opinion.
