This pisses me off..*

Given that there is roughly 1 non-white person, for every 10 people in the UK.. the fact that there are on a lot of shows 1 non-white person for every 5-6 people, is actually an over-representation, rather then an under-representation. Although considering you cant have half a person, having at least 1 seems fine.

But apparently its a sign of inequality that minorities do not massively over-represent on TV?*

( I agree with the point about women, being underrepresented hugely, but as much as some parts of TSR would brand me a huge sexist, on average they are just not as funny, or at least dont have as wide reaching humor and all the shows listed were comedies)*

There could be a good arguement for over-representation of minorities on TV, to help assimilation into british culture, and to reduce the problems many minority communities face.. But to argue that they are under-represented, and it is racist, based on pictures where they are statistically over-represented.. is just stupid. *
The Beeb just went full Arsenal letting Robin Van Bake Off go.

Legit having the same feelings :frown:
What is Tornado's current account?


Very disappointed with the 'Thug Messiah' angle they've tried to take, complete misunderstood the concept of 'Thug Life'. Looks like they've asked some 14 year old white girls, and said ok write a movie about Tupac.

Good luck with the outcome!

If you get the job and move down to London you will become a proper United supporter. 😉

Remember when they won the 'Turn the arch white challenge' for the Capital One Cup final last year, and were gloating about it - even though the arch is always white haha

Not so much a dating experience but I'd been low key texting this girl for a few weeks after meeting through a friend at uni. We crossed paths on a night out and got chatting and what not, eventually we went outside for some fresh hair and somewhere quiet.. After a couple of minutes she proceeded to throw up all over me. That was the end of that and I think I've seen her once since, awkwardly queuing together in subway.

Absolutely ruined my shoes ffs
