    Not trying to be racist but it’s almost always a man and a woman who are both White - and probably a Black side character if they are feeling generous.

      They have ones with black protagonists, the white ones just have a few token black people, often for comic relief. This is TV for Karens essentially.

      The channel viewership is 99.999% overweight to obese older white women. This is functionally their porn.

      If they do have an interracial couple it’s always a black man with a white woman. Never the other way around.

        gotta get that bbc.

        British Broadcast Corporation - they’ll sure give Hallmark a run for their money.

      Hollywood’s (meaning movie and TV producers in general) default is white and straight.

      The hetero norm is changing slowly, but the white norm is still very much a thing. Typically for a movie to feature a predominantly POC cast, it’s directed by a POC and listed as a POC movie, rather than just… well, a movie.
