Mixed relationships

Mmm! Not that convinced with that analysis. If it were true, why are they only now targeting a more diverse audience. I'm afraid there is a certain amount of box ticking going here.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Maybe they only recently switched on to it.

Advertising I have no issue with, the advertisers will always want to reach as many as possible so diversity makes sense to me.

What I don't like is the enforced diversity in TV and Movies. I'm sure I read or was told that in the US a TV program must have a certain amount of non white characters otherwise it wouldn't get screentime.

This is OK for modern drama's in most main Cities and fantasy, but it also means you get illogical casting in historical drama's. I started watching Mary Queen of Scots which had Adrian Lester as a nobleman, I like this actor, love some of the things he's in but found myself distracted with wondering if there were any black noblemen, certainly have always thought there wasn't.

Bridgerton is another example, but its pure fantasy as was Merlin another TV program that had black people where historically there wouldn't be.

When I was brought up in Port Talbot in the 60's and 70's, I can only think of two black families in the area, similar Asian, when I went to town or went out drinking at night, the people I saw were 100% white on the vast majority of the times I went out. I'm unsure of how it is today, I haven't been back for decade's. But if someone made a TV series based in the early 70's in Port Talbot and cast 40% as black or Asian then it truly would not represent the time I spent there.

Of course there are areas of high diversity, so making a program based in those areas there would be no issue to have a divers cast.

I have no issue with diversity in adverts, movies or TV series, but sometimes I find it distracting if it makes no sense.

Whatever you do don’t watch The Personal History of David Copperfield. It’ll blow your mind.

Most certainly, soap operas are the same.

I suspected you had something to do with this topic when he started screwing up the quotes :lol:

Use one name mun you pillock

Also just to add, I never screwed up when using the quote function, I believe there was a problem with it.. It's pretty easy to enter text, after a quote.

As I said in my defence at the time, when replying with a quote, I notice the above text moving, it's not doing it now, so the error in the quote function was not my fault, 100%.

As I have pointed out, the quote function screwing up was no fault of mine. And with regards to deleting posts, ok hands up I may have deleted the odd one or two, but that was just me performing self censorship after making unsavoury comments towards other members.

Don't be silly. Isn't it funny how the quote function has worked for me, ever since I pointed out the errors in it. As I have said, something was not right with it, I point it out!! Hey presto, has not happened since.

It may have been more, but the point I was making, I just deleted for self censorship. I saw nothing wrong with that, at the time.. Phil has requested no more . . . And you will never see one again.

I can hand on heart say that there is no way that Jack123 is Blackpooljack as I've met BJ and he's a fine upstanding member of the community whilst 123 is habitual post deleter.

The quotes have always worked fine, you just have to know how to use it, which can get a bit muddled...

Judging by this topic he started, that's debatable
