TV Tokenism: It's Here, But What Should We Do About It?

Following our recent classroom discussions on TV Tokenism, I've become convinced: it definitely exists. In fact, not only does it exist, but it has penetrated so far into the root of our society that I'd be amazed if anything changed on this front in the coming years. But as I think about it, the question arises: now that we know, what should be done about it?

To answer the question in one word, nothing. I mean, at least at the government level. 

Since the founding of this country, our society has been built upon freedom. That means we have the freedom to eat what we want. And the freedom to talk as we want. And along with that, it means that as a society, we have a right to create whatever TV shows we may want. Sure, the main reason for TV Tokenism is the incentive to make money, and most show do in fact perpetrate TV Tokenism. But there will always certain shows that are intentionally created to appeal to the minorities. And if we want to live in a free society, we have to learn to embrace other people's freedom to make TV shows as they please.

If we do want to create a change in the system though, there is nothing wrong with boycotting certain shows, spreading the word, writing letters, emails, etc. The main reason why people perpetrate TV Tokenism is because they think that it will earn them the most amount of money. But if we show them otherwise, trust me: they will make a change. If enough people put in the effort and protest TV Tokenism, I have no doubt that we will be successful.

What do you think? Should anything be done on the government front or not?
