Does Latoya reinforce negative stereotypes about black people?

By sleeping all day?

Sounds pretty stereotypically shabby to me!!

Interesting you should mention this. On Sunday C4 had a Points of View type programme and a black guy said he was missed off to see Big Brother reinforcing stereotypes by having the only black housemates be a rapper and a dancer, as though that was all black people could do.

I thought that was all they could do? OMG THE STEREOTYPES ON TV HAVE BRAINWASHED ME!!

They asked for talented housemates. The talented black housemates just happened to be black and a dancer. What, should they have picked a black accountant or something too, just to be PC?

 

[Fuddlemiff]

YES

or a clown

 

[CaptainWacky]

Like Seany?

 

[Fuddlemiff]

BUT BLACK

 

[CaptainWacky]

So Seany then.

The other choice would have been a crack head who can jerk off 6 guys at once for money. That is talent, but not suitable for younger viewers...except if you live in Europe.
