Netflix Shows trying to be inclusive is great, but unrealistic and kind of goofy sometimes.

This is true and it's kind of weird. When we ask for inclusion, we usually mean representation as you would see it in real life. There'd be movies back in the day where if it's a white movie, you either don't see other races at all or if you do, it's just a token. But in an environment like a school, there's different types of schools depending on where the school is, but if it's diverse, no, it's not going to this melting pot of white, black, asian, latino with conveniently diverse sexualities all working together like that. Even if they aren't racist, they usually stick together, asians usually stick together, black people usually stick together, etc and there's gonna be people who mix in that are cool with each other but that's just how it is. Now in these shows it just feels like they are trying to complete this checklist of diversity. I like it somewhat since the media influences people and that may influence more diversity in schools, but it isn't a depiction of real life.

You'll see this a lot in games now too.

Like look at this:

I’m watching this movie called Senior Year and colors of the characters is all types of unrealistic. I’m glad actors of “color” are getting jobs, but sometimes the ethnicities of characters be throwing me off. Why not just green light more black shows instead of sprinkling people if color in situations that are completely unrealistic.

The rival to the popular blonde haired/blue eyed girl is Asian. Word? :francis:

A black gay dude is part of the cheerleading squad. :heh:

The popular girl’s best friend is a nerdy black dude. It only that but her dad loves him and he was just all up inttheir house having breakfast with the dad and the dad is like “why don’t you ask my daughter to the prom?”
:comeon:
The High School is supposed to be your typical Suburban school, but the student body is evenly divided across race. I have never witnessed this IRL. :mjlol:

And it looks like they grabbed the first Polynesian guy the could find and made him a principal.


There are LA and NY suburb schools fairly evenly divided among race. I taught at one the year I was getting my teaching credential. Not exactly 25% each, but easily 300+ students each of White, Black, Latino and Asian, so literally any scenario you can imagine was there.

Not sure where OP is from where he thinks popular Asian girls are never rivals with popular White girls or gay black cheerleaders don't exist.

The "let's do a gay black character so we knock off two diversity points in one" shyt is WAY overdone though.


"Senior Year" is probably an ass show but not because it's diverse.

as someone who went to a high school that was a mix of races everyone except for the gay black cheerleader and the white dad sounded normal to me

The problem is some people are fine with inclusion and some people want over the top inclusion. We already which one of those groups screams the loudest. Shoehorning non whites and alphabet people into shows is cheap,corny, and lazy. Netflix is just the worst at it, Grey's anatomy is just as bad too.

Gonna have to retreat to books for a while to get away from the over-the-top, ineffective pandering. People cut the cord to go to streaming, but now they are cutting the cord to streaming too. Netflix can save themselves, but do Reed and Ted really care? They are filthy rich. If Netflix were to fail (I don't believe it will) like Blockbuster, they will still walk away from the carnage being billionaires and multi-millionaires respectively.

The consumers are the only ones who really are losing here.
