Yeah, I agree... I know w/ NYC, they haven't have diversity until late 60s to 80s when Black/Spanish people taking over.. But not sure about in London..

There's definitely black people in the UK back then. Downton Abbey which was set roughly the same time as FBAWTFT had a black character on the show but it only happened later in the season and it was a short-lived character. At least the show had LGBTQ rep.

Yeah, agree.. But yet, they choose white cast bec they think that it's safe route to get more seasons or whatever iti s..

UGH. This is why representation and diversity is important. It's not because "it's the cool thing" these days. And honestly it's a lot better now compared to when I was growing up and all we got were white people on media.

Word to that.. I mean, damn.. I hate it how they think that the white cast can bring $$$, but I wonder if they have see BP, Us, and other films.. I mean.. I remember in 90s, there were lot of black cast shows, but now, we got none.. I feel like it have to do w/ social media.. Sigh..

Over here there weren't a lot of representation in the 90s. But we're exposed to other TV shows and movies from other Asian countries and Mexican telenovelas was such a huge thing here when I was a kid. American TV shows are of course an all-white cast so it wasn't a huge deal back then. But now the U.S. is very diverse and media still doesn't reflect that. So when you're a POC living in the U.S., it's like you're invisible and don't exist. Same goes with LGBTQ which is underrepresented. It's much better now. I think almost every show I watch has at least 1 LGBTQ character.

Ahh, really? Interesting.. Bec during 90s, there were lot of representation, but when it comes to 2000s, it went back to white cast shows plus I felt that have to do w/ social meidas and all that.. And I notice that w/ LGBTQ shows that showed lot in 90s, but now, not that much.. Even tho they always make it like they aren't right for each other..

I agree about the 2000s, almost all white TV shows and movies. Dawson's Creek had 1 LGBTQ character as far as I can recall.

Yeah it definitely still needs improvement. I think Will & Grace definitely handles LGBTQ better although sometimes they do tend to feed into the stereotypical gay on the show.

Yeah, I agree.. Plus it have to do w/ creator who is either bi, gay, or lesbian who can handle it better..
