I just think it's farfetched to the original purpose of the thread, and I also think that it would make an interesting debate in a thread of its own. Why don't you make one? Society's outlook on how race is represented in the media is a broader topic than the one at hand.

Although it does seem that you've missed the last rito's post about the producer's past racist comments and other evidence. perhaps you should try googling like rito suggested and gain a little more perspective on the issue? You seem to want to debate a broader ideal here, which is fine, but takes awayf rom the original intent of the thread. IMO this should have gone in movies while the race/media/magazines thing should remain here.

I don't think you understand that these 'white' magazines, are not 'white' magazines, they are meant for everyone, including blacks and whatever else you can be. However, the 'ebony' magazines are the opposite, only for one certain race.
Should this be acceptable in society? No, because it is illogical.

of course it should be acceptable in society. did you even read Craymel's post?

It's not just race that's under represented it's also different sexual orientations. As a gay male I also feel extremely under represented in the media so god forbid we bring it upon ourselves to give ourselves a voice.
