ED-ER

I'm doing a project on ethnic minorities in US TV Drama in Media Studies right now, and I'm using "ER"

If any of you guys fancy filling out a few answers for me, I'd very much appreciate it.
Don't feel like you need to write too much.
If you could, please state your ethnicity beforehand as well.

Thanks, guys!
