whiteness

The article "Broadcasting a World of Whiteness" by Jon Carmanaica is about how on tv their a lot of white actors and less minorities. The article says that in a show called "Girls" there is only white young females looking for love but no race other than white. They also state that on big shows on ABC and CBS that their are not enough minorities that act as a main role. Also on a show called "The Bachelor" they denied to black men and they thought it had something to do with their race.

I think that there are not enough shows on television with diverse cast. Sometimes when there's a show about 4 guys finding love or any comedy thing there is usually 3 white guys and 1 black guy. Why couldn't it just be 3 black guys and 1 guy, then it would be called an african american movie and a lot of people wouldn't want to watch. It goes back to being a racial issue in america. Some producers would rather put white people in because thats what people are comfortable with and there is nothing wrong with producers trying to make a hit show but out of 10 people could at least 4 of them not be white? I have watch something that was racist but its so sad i just laugh it off. There's nothing I could do but watch but its funny of how pathetic it is.

Producers should make a diverse show with every kind of race and not make it a "Mexican show" or a "African American show" but just a "show".

gun fashion.'

The new fashion is now clothes that hides your gun and makes it more comfortable for you. A company called Woolrich made these clothes. They added front and back pockets to hide your gun, knife or flashlight. Some people like the clothes because it hides the gun and makes them look less sloppy or makes it more appealing. They want to have a gun but they also want to look good having one. Some people think it useless because they rather look like a regular guy with a gun and not so fashionable with a gun. The law allows this and in most states they allow you to walk around with a gun and a permit for it.

I think this clothing line is very absurd. What's the point to look fashionable with a gun? Why have a gun anyway? I think this lets a lot of people think its okay to have a gun. Also since it is easier to pull the gun out and easier to use they would probably want to pull out their gun and look cool doing it with their new clothes specially made for their gun. I think these clothes are very unnecessary because it doesnt really matter weather you look good with a gun or not. This doesn't really affect me because i dont have a gun and im not interest in having one. But some people really like these clothes and can't wait to be in style with their gun.
