interracial couples on TV and chelsea

howdy, all...popping in with my 2 knuts...

Naama was asking about interracial couples on TV...well, there's a 
very good reason you don't see much of that:  the networks.  American 
TV is a whole bunch of the same thing.  If the execs think it will 
offend Ma and Pa Jones in Kansas (or wherever the Joneses are these 
days) then it won't make it to prime time.  Television takes a long 
time to catch up to what is going on in society, IMO.  I personally 
have known several interracial couples, only one of whom is still 
together.  
But even so, a lot of people aren't used to the idea, it makes them 
uncomfortable.  ::shrug::  I have a mental image of American society 
as a very lazy tortise.  

As for Chelsea...
The media thinks she's important and exciting.  The rest of the world 
couldn't care, especially after her embarassing whine post 9.11 
("everyone hates me!  everyone hates americans! everyone hates 
everything!)  gah.  spare me.  i will continue to get my news from 
places that do not include pictures of celebrities.  
Although, to be honest, better Chelsea than her 
mother...::shudders::  Pity my poor state, victim of her 
carpetbagging.
