[quote=Anonymous]Okay, take this with a truckload of salt but when I was in Australia some years ago I noticed that television shows were very white. I happened to be reading a book during my visit about how white Europeans tried to keep other racial groups, especially Asians, from immigrating, so I really noticed this. And then there is also the history of repression of the aborigines. At any rate, the number of shows featuring only white actors was quite striking. Whatever you want to say about race relations in the US (and it needs a lot of work!), we are much more likely to feature actors of different racial groups in tv and movies. Same with the UK based on what I see on BBCA. I was surprised that this wasn't true of the Australian tv I saw. But I'm no expert on Australia and it was a visit some years ago. I may have it completely wrong. [/quote]
