Different places have different large minorities that are underrepresented - for example diversifying in a German setting usually doesn't mean black people (because the media is actually heavily over-representing black people compared to the actual population, thanks to US-American media making its way over and the black minority being only about 1%), it means adding Asian, Turkish, Greek, Italian or Slavic people.

Applying the diversity of a US setting to a foreign setting is kind of offensive, yeah.

This!



When you watch/read anything set in a place based on a Wester European country, especially Germany, and the cast is made up of two white kids, a black person and perhaps an Asian, and no slavic people or people of Mediterranean descent in sight, people have the right to be offended.

At best, what's happenening in these cases, is undesirable minorities being replaced with more desirable ones. :/

If that's your problem with it, you can't get hide behind your "US centric!" excuse, because black or Asian being "more desirable" than Slavic or Mediterranean is the absolute opposite of the typical American mindset about minorities.

[(Anonymous)]

I think what they meant is that to Slavic and Mediterranean people outside the US this feels like they're so undesirable that even people who are always talking about tolarance and inclusion don't want them around.

[(Anonymous)]

But the problem in parts stems from US centrism.

TV productions here (what little we have) have begun not only to become americanised in style, but also in concepts like what the audience expects in cast diversity. The TV producers have adopted the idea of US token minorities and put them into their shows instead of a realistic amount of characters of Turkish or slavic descent.

Us centrist doesn't mean "everyone behaves to every ethnicity in the same way" but "diversity is the same everywhere as in the US". And it's just not true. You can't project your image of token minorities unto Europe.
