I think that's a great point, totally agree. Are you thinking of any specific movie/ TV show examples where that has happened or are you thinking in a general way?
"it's weird to see a group of 5 friends and there's one white person, one black, one latino, one East Asian, and one flamboyant gay guy" - good point. There's been some recent controversy about Friends and the HBO Special but, in reality, aren't there a lot of groups of friends who are six white people? Or six black people? Or six latinos? I think in some cases we've gone to the other extreme - from no representation (which is wrong) to overrepresentation/ representing for the sake of representing.
I totally agree with your point about Latinos, East Asians and Native Americans not having enough representation in US movies and TV shows.
Yes. @QuinnFillory - can you please clarify what you mean by "Good" or "Bad" in this context?
