Race & TV: Shades of Light
This is a pictorial list of the People of Color on the big four (ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX) networks. In the first post we looked at the number of PoC in comparison to the number of non-PoC. In this list, I would like to draw attention to the issue of shadism. Often, even when PoC are on Television, they still fit into a very specific place on the shade meter.
No real shock: The list heavily favors light skinned people from every race/ethnicity. It seems that the darker skinned people are more likely to be found on game shows.
