You're an idiot. There are significant amounts of asians in Australia. Show me the significant minority groups of black and white people in china or asian countries? I'm saying tv should represent the wider community. If the community is all white, then all white tv stars. If all black...

And when was the last time you checked? Black is not an offensive term at all. Fine, substitute blue heelers with better homes and gardens, the great outdoors, neighbours, all saints, whatever :rolleyes:

:uhhuh: that's my point! Mainstream media should at least have some asian people as major characters in TV shows to improve representation just like minorities in US TV programs, cos asians do make up a large portion of the minority groups in Australia.

That's true about blacks but how about Italians then? They got 'the sopranoes' and 'everybody loves raymond'. Jews have the 'O.C.' and 'seinfield'. However minorities groups are squeezed out by the Australian media, if you're not of anglo descent forget any representation on tv. Actually...

"Your people"? Oprah would identify herself as an 'Afro-American', not 'White American'. So if I were to be as equally well represented as negros in America I should be able to see at least a noticble number of 'Asian-Australians' on TV which I currently do not. I can only see...

According to your logic, blacks represented by oprah, italians represented by everbody loves raymond aren't Americans, and should just go back to Africa or Italy.

You think that because you're not in a minority group treated as being invisible on the tv screen by local media barons.

Hey I'm not just saying no anglo culture on teleland but no anglos at all. period. I'm willing to bet that many anglos would not be okay with this if it really happened.

So I take it that if local media seriously had zero anglo representation, you wouldn't care?

At least post something valid rather than trolling... You show me the local african and white population in China :rolleyes: My point is that the media should represent the population.

Has this always been the case or only since blacks demanded representation by the media? If blacks weren't shown in US media, white youths would hardly be embracing their culture. :rolleyes:

Where is this research that shows people don't want it? :rolleyes: There never has any noticible asian representation in local media, how can you make judgements on something which doesn't exist. I gurantee that if it was the other way around, anglos would be decrying the discrimination...

Your mistake is that most asian countries have homogenous asian population. If Australia was homogeously anglo, then sure the tv stations should reflect this reality. However Australia doesn't have a homogenious anglo population so the media shouldn't pretend that it does. Australian...

Not racist? So if it was the other way around, and you saw all asians but zero anglos on teleland despite substancial anglo population in real life, would you say that's not racist? If the US ditched all its black media characters and black themed shows from tv and replaced them with all...

That's not a valid comparison. Just how many homosexual vegetarian wheelchair people are there in the community? :rolleyes: If they comprised of some 10-20% of the population then I would be expecting their media representation too. This a serious topic. Australian media portrays...

I think the local media is totally racist. Every local tv program and tv star in Australia is 99.99% anglo. I never see any asian main characters or asian celebs in Australian entertainment media. Compared with America they have much more representation for their black minority such as black...

Her career is set to be hot because she is hot. The Bali stint just made her more well known. She only had two pills in her handbag, it's not like she's a drug mule with kilos of crack for import or anything. There's nothing wrong with her. She's a sensible person. She got arrested, pleaded...

lol once GM goes broke, Toyota will probably take over it.

No country can stand entirely on its own. The closest would be Russia because they have their own oil supply and industries but they would still end up dirt poor.

Look around at appliances and consumer goods in your house....how much stuff says "made in india" at the back?
