Title: A good subject for debate ... faces on TV Post by Lord Herbert on Jan 14th, 2016 at 2:54pm link Commercial TV operates as a profit-making business first and foremost. 'Bums-on-seats' in the nation's lounge rooms with people watching the commercials is what makes the industry survive. The American experience has shown that whites on TV is the most successful formula for attracting the biggest audiences. |

I don't care what "colour" they are, so long as they can enunciate English so that you can understand what the hell they are talking about. So many "talking heads" mumble through their teeth. I turned off the TV News years ago, at least the written news is legible (although Journos seem not to be able to spell these days). Just as well some of us are perfect. ;)

To be totally honest - I can sympathise with Australians who are not your stereotypical White Anglos, wondering why the commercials, and the news readers and reporters - and the players in all the TV shows are composed almost exclusively of white breads.
I think it simply comes down to ratings. What I would NOT agree with is a government law that forces the TV production companies to start insert so many percentages of token Chinese, token Blacks, token Muslims-with-hijabs, Muslims-with-beards, Pacific Islanders, Indians, and the rest. That would be Social Marxism to do that. One of my all-time favourite shows had an all-Black cast - and damned if I can remember the name now. If it's funny and entertaining - I'll watch it. Some of the very best Stand-up comedians are American Blacks, Iranians, and Indians. It's all about value. |

You may be onto something herb. Scratch that, you ARE onto something. Marketers and advertisers are no mugs - they've done their research and they know exactly what people like, even if they cannot overtly say so. Their whole industry depends on having an accurate picture of peoples preferences, and in keeping that picture hidden from the

No itd be rare that it did, becausr its not thr point. 55 out of 100 people might prefer strawberry flavour to chocolate, that doesnt mean theyd turn down a chocolate ine if that was all that was on offer. There might also be times when they feel like chocolate for a change. It might appear only a slight preference, but magnify it to the scale of a market of 100 million people, and that slight preference makes a big difference to the nottom line. |

And other studies say it's about symmetry. THe thing is, you can find a study to prove just about any point you want to make. You want to prove that white women are more attractive because you find them more attractive. That You are applying your own prejudice to the analysis of beauty.

I'm afraid research says otherwise. I understand your reluctance to accept that an objective, universal standard of beauty exists, but exist ir does and preserving your ego by buying into a delusion isn't healthy in the long run. Personally I prefer strawberry over chocolate even though chocolate is the more popular flavour overall. The trick is to not care what the herd is doing - again, I understand why you cannot do this. |

No. There is no definable standard for beauty. It is quite true that somebody who is recognised as beautiful by a large number of people can be thought to be indeed, beautiful but there is no proven litmus test for why this is. There are only theories. And standards of beauty change. Marilyn Monroe wouldn't cut it tin today's Hollywood. Standards of beauty are also cultural. This is why i repeatedly refer to your preference. Your preference is based upon that of a prejudiced white male. It cannot be said to be a universal truism. |

I wouldn't say someone was "beautiful" unless they were a 7+. She is a 6, at best. I expect you probably find it harder to swallow because we're talking about beuty in women, which is a particularly thorny issue for you and feminists in general, but it cuts both ways. If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, ask yourself when the last time you heard a shiela say she prefers short pudgy men to tall, square jawed men. Answer - never. |

On the plus side, feminists needn't worry about being held to "ideals" like this: That is not an ideal for straight men. That is an artificial standard, devised by people whos opinions are irrelevant. |

The anti-social behaviour you describe is prevalent amongst all demographics with limited educational , social incision opportunities and employment opportunities. It is not a symptom of being Aboriginal. This is blatantly evidenced by the large number of Aboriginal people who do not behave badly. I don't assume somebody with dark skin is a Aboriginal because they are behaving badly and 'more white' if they are not, as you claim to do. Which makes you a racist. A pig-ignorant racist. |

What arent you understanding here? anti social behaviour is prevalent amongst aboriginal people. Behavioural clues give me a hint as to ethnciity, capische? You are twisting and turning here more than an olympic diver. Just admit that Aboriginal people commit far more crime and anti social behaviour than other groups. Why is it so hard to admit the truth? |

Bit you have already admitted that you do. According to you a brown skinned person with Aboriginal features behaving badly would be an Aboriginal yet a brown skinned person with Aboriginal features not behaving badly would not be an Aboriginal. They would simply be a brown skinned person with Aboriginal features. It would take them behaving badly for you to concede that they were Aboriginal. I'm not making this up. This is your argument. Astonishing but true. |
