Broadcasting a World of Whiteness

In a recent article they talk about the different race that we see on TV. The debate weather television should be more diverse or not? According to the article Whiteness is too often invisible on television, so much that the fact is hardly ever pointed out. A show called "Girls" has a group of girls wondering New York for bits of love and all of them are white. This isn’t the only show where there are all whites. For example it seems as though there are more whites on TV then blacks. They show "Two and half men" and "that’s 70 show." It seems as though in every commercial there are more white people than any other race. The question is should TV be more diverse? In my opinion I believe that this shouldn’t even be a question. Of course there should be different race on TV instead of just whites.
On Disney Channel there are more white shows than blacks and it shouldn’t be that way. For example, Disney channel use to have a black show, called “that’s so Raven” and “Corey in the House” but unfortunately they took it off air and added more white TV shows.
I really don’t think that there should be one dominant race on TV. I don’t think that there should just be more blacks on TV; I think it should be more of all different races.
When I look on TV and don’t see my race as much as I see another, I feel some type of way. I would like to see more people like me on TV. Its just not fair.
