Broadcasting a World of Whiteness

In the article Broadcasting a World of Whiteness by Jon Caramanica, talks about a new tv show on HBO called " Girls " and many believe that the show is racist because of the lack of african american characters in the show and the show has racial slurs. For Example  It tells how on a scene after the two cast member named Hannah, played by Lena Dunham and her non boyfriend Adam (Adam Driver) have sex, once they're finished he made a comment promising he"s going to make the "continent of Africa on" Hanna's arm. Also a remark from another cast member said " I want to have children with many different men, of different races." 


I honestly dont really care about ONE tv show that doesnt have black characters. There are a million and one tv shows with either all black characters, or half the cast is black characters or all white characters . It just takes one click to find a show that fits your preferences.
