Am I being Racist?

[Bewlay Bros]

I posted last week about the BBC choosing two black people and one Asian in a group of just 8 people on Extreme Challenges.

However, when the same company show on Eastenders an eastend gang "well" in to knives there is only one black youth amongst a gang of 8.

I am sick to death of the BBC with their political correctness and marxist attitudes.

Am I racist or just moaney?

I am certain the BBC is fully aware of their portrayal of race, which is frankly anti-white.

You are being racist. What you are trying to say that all gangs should be black youths!

[dove]

moaney lol. but I do see where you are coming from.

[cazzz1975]

in honesty I wouldnt have noticed their race, people are people.

No what I am saying is knife crime is almost always black in London. In fact your tax money (not local authority) even set up a special division in London to deal SOLEY with black gun and knife crime.

Further, you pay your TV licence money to fund the BBC.

Further Soap operas allthough incredibly far fetch suppose to relay certain facts of normal society (The Old Kitchen Sink" as it was once known.

The point I am making is I know damn well the producers know this but are too frightened to represent it.

Because the opposite of me will make a complaint saying Eastenders is racist and they will be sued if they report the truth.

It's a well know fact that soaps, don't reflect life as you and I know it.

Maybe they are frightened of repercussion and don't want to be blamed for certain crimes.

The soaps don't have an equal ratio of black people, especially eastenders, where a lot of black people live.
Even in Corrie, you have 2 token blacks.
As far as I am aware there's none in Emmerdale.

Where I used to live there was a gang of thugs, of the 10 of them only 2 were of other ethnic minorities

What's HTH?

[funnygirl]

Leg, a fair number of blacks do live in the East End!!
I have a friend living there and she ain't alone.

[funnygirl]

Hope that Helps!??

[bananie]

don't watch it if it annoys you. Why don't you go and do something less boring instead

[Myriad2112]

Then it doesn't need a question mark

Does that help?

[funnygirl]

Nope!

[Gormless]

No you are not being racist.

There are three types of people who will read this question. Those who know exactly what you are getting at and agree with you, those who disagree with you, and those who think they really ought to jump on here and denounce you because it is the correct thing to do.

Future generations are going to have reason to CURSE that last category.

[Myriad2112]

That's not a question.

I hope you're ok
Are you ok?

One's a statement and the other is a question
