It's a positive thing that there have been television shows about African Americans doing positive things that should at least in theory provide African Americans with suitable role-models that they can aspire to, but this trend has recently just degenerated into a ridiculous parody of itself. Current media depictions of blacks are so unrealistic that they are cringeworthy; a race seemingly consisting of super-geniuses, brilliant accountants, doctors, lawyers, 'by the book' police officers and robotic engineers. Hollywood seems to paint a very unfamiliar and pecuiliar reality none of us really know but many seem to still think is there.
By the same token, more and more are whites depicted as the bad guys.
Exactly. Take
Kingswood Country. The wog was such a nice guy but Ted Bullpit was a real bastard, always bitching about the "other" races, always whingeing about everything, and he was really selfish too.
You had to put money on the fridge if you wanted a beer, and there was always some excuse why you couldn't borrow the Kingswood. You couldn't tell Ted bullpit anything, and he blamed everyone else for his problems.
I mean, come on. Australians aren't like that at all.
