This should be rather interesting . . .

Okay, so America as we know and love is a great melting pot. Multiculturism and Diversity seem to be here to stay, which is just another way of saying Political Correctness is here to stay. So, I wonder about the following, using news channels as the example:

1) There are more women than men in this country (of all races), and yet women are not represented in the majority in most things.  Most newscasts have (at least) one man and one woman.

2) Afrrican-Americans represent around 11% of the population, and yet there are more African-Americans on television news channels than Hispanics, which represent anywhere from 22 - 35%.

3) One in five humans on this planet is Chinese, and one in five are Indian. So that means 2 in five humans are from Asia. That's 40% of the world population. And you will be hard-pressed to find many Chinese or Indians on news channels (although to be 'fair' that number is increasing).

4) There are less and less white men in this country every year, and yet they seem to always be the main anchor. NBC and ABC, of course, CNN, MSNBC, and SkyNews.

This is the age of political correctness, right? These are the days where words are weapons and any mention of race or quotas is like a knife in the neck, right? These are the days where a television show can show horrific amounts of blood and autopsies and corpses and dismembered victims of crime, and yet a movie cannot use the word 'retard' without being protested, right?

So, you would think tokenism would be alive and well. We're told it is, and yet the numbers don't bear that out.

How about that?
