[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 220268, member: 68"] Sitcoms aren't the only kind of TV show. And I admit that things are better now but when you think of a lot of American dramas they are and have been very white-washed. Look at Dallas for instance in 12 seasons the only person of colour on the show that I recall was a waitress who wasn't even a main cast member. In 12 seasons! EDIT- And I seem to recall Diahann Carroll actually saying she was told she would never be on Dallas. There must be a quote somewhere, I recall it being discussed on these forums. [/QUOTE]
Insert quotes…
