New Drama to Look Forward to

[JBR]

Henry may well have a point, but 80+% of this country is white, deal with it.

On the other hand, when you watch adverts on the telly, you'd be excused if you think it's more like 80% non-white!

Statistically, for every one black person on TV, there should be eight white ones.

But of course, we are an 'advanced and accepting' society.

You've forgotten some of the other non whites. Chinese people are rarely seen in adverts, but I have spotted some other Asian actors.  Not forgetting many who are described as black are mixed race, often with some white parentage.   

I agree that some of the advertising companies have overcompensated for a previous lack of non white actors.  But, as we record most TV programmes, we rarely watch the ads anyway.
