Re: Girls
White people should be allowed to show the world the way they want to for as long as they want to do it. Who cares if there's diversity on the screen? No one is obliged to show diversity. Who cares if minorities are under-represented? Frankly I'm tired of people who are not getting roles or jobs complaining about race. That the Bachelor or Girls or Friends have 100% white leads shouldn't matter. Only good story telling matters.
Same for writing rooms. Whites make-up 95% of writing staffs. Does that make them racist? No. Minorities should do a better job making opportunities for themselves instead of complaining.
Do you see white people complaining when Tyler Perry makes an all black tv show for TBS? No. Though it helps that whites dominate the 100s of other tv shows on the air as opposed to vice versa, the point is, stop complaining. Be like Tyler Perry: start writing plays and put them on yourself. Build up a massive following over many years. Parlay that following into movie success by finding your own financing. Parlay that track record into getting a tv show. I bet that's what the creator if Girls did.
Let your voice be the magical flute that spreads your vision to masses. And let your voice be color blind. And don't let stats like 95% or 100% be an excuse to find racism because, frankly, it's tiring.
