>"I love the show, and we took a big risk on it. But our courage was not rewarded," says Rudiger Boss, head of acquisitions at ProSiebenSat.1, which bought Empire for German TV.

>"Having a diverse cast creates another hurdle for U.S. series trying to break through; it would be foolish not to recognize that. We are telling our units that they need to be aware that by creating too much diversity in the leads in their show means … problems having their shows translating to the international market."

Why is this Fucking happening!? You racist Motherfuckers! FUCK YOU! How is the IOC International Courts not investigating this!?

What does this have to do with the Olympics?

Diverse means non-white
>>
>>69424565
Or...the show just isn't that appealing?

I'm black and I STILL don't understand why this show is/was popular in the US to begin with. It was Hustle n' Flow for TV and I didn't care to watch more black people try to make it in "the rap game".

I don't WANT to watch anything about a music label and the life of people who run them. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, it flopped overseas because the plot sucks?
>>
>>69424565

I see.
The solution to the problem is to make Germany more diverse so the show will be a success.

They do. Now it is just made plain what they always meant by 'diverse'. They mean non-white. That's all diverse means, all it has ever meant.

They're just too comfortable with it now and don't realize they're using it outright in that fashion so we can see their anti-white racism clearly.

HBO is even trying to make a a show about rock music inductry in the 70's and that isnt even watchable.

It's like this.

You've probably seen shows or movies from China before dubbed over for the American market. Chinese Kung Fu films used to be wildly popular. You probably have enough understanding of the dominant Han Chinese culture to pick up on broad cultural references made in the movie. But imagine you were watching some show from China set in a western, rural province. The cast is mostly Uyghur, not Han. Their practices, customs, and references would be readily understood by their countryman, but as an international viewer with no understanding of this remote, ethnic minority on China's western frontier, you have no idea what the fuck is going on. Why is that guy mad at his son for not wearing his funny looking hat? Why are all of them carrying knives? They have that many Muslims in China? Just confusion.

That is what a minority heavy US production is like to a foreign viewer.

the best exports from America have always been westerns.

>>69424565
>diverse

As someone who actually watches the show, this is patently false. Literally ever person in the show is a nigger, except for the wife of one of the main character. She's white, constantly shit on for it, the guy she's married with is accused of being a race traitor constantly, and the show portrays her as a nagging sociopath
>>
dont be a menace and im gonna git you sucka are movies with hardly any if any white dudes in at all and they are fucking hillarious, maybe this is just shit and forced diversity.

this show really should've aired on BET if they were going to be this stereotypical about it
>>
>>69426021
The original music is good, and to me it seems pretty self-aware that it is showing niggers at their most niggerish.

For a show presumably aimed at cucked whites and black people, it throws a surprising number of red pills at you here and there. One of the sons married a coal burner, and they go out of their way to tell her she'll never be accepted as a member of the family no matter what.

Or in the season 2 premier, Hustle and Flow nigger is in prison for murdering a guy and the family stages a BLM protest to demand he be set free from jail, knowing full well he was guilty. When the niggerest guy on the show questions the morality of lying to and using BLM protesters to further a selfish agenda, his mom slapped him and told him to drop it. And it was literally never mentioned again on the show.

Every nation has an ethnic majority population in one form or another. This is the case no matter where you look. Every nation has an ethnic majority population of one percentage or another. This is not a crime. It is not an atrocity. There is nothing wrong with this. It does not mean these nations are broken, and it is not something that needs "fixing."

The fact that programs to "diversify" certain environments are targeted only at ONE ethnic group in particular is VERY telling.

I have yet to hear one white, upper-middle class, and sheltered college student decry the actions of the Japanese against the TRUE natives of Japan, who are known as the Ainu (see pictured). The "Japanese" colonized the islands that the Ainu inhabited, turned these people into slaves, slaughtered many thousands of them, stripped them of their land and rights, and still treat them with contempt to this day.

Where the hell is the outrage over this?

the ainu are not the indigenous people of japan

Vinyl is fucking horrible, and I went into it expecting much more considering the talent involved. I think they already ordered a second season, which is stupid because the ratings haven't been that good.

If you're not watching this show every time it comes on you should be killed immediately you racist fucks. They have the power to tell if you're watching tv in Britain, I bet they have the power to see what show you're watching too.

Fuck you you intolerant fucks, you make me sick. American blacks are obviously more cultured than you.

Int'l courts can't prosecute against discrimination anyway, unless there are war crimes, genocide (ICC), or disputes between states (ICJ)

You could make an argument for both I suppose.

You both honestly can't be that dumb, right?
He's talking about western China, not the Wild West.

He's saying that there "diverse" cast with its cultural references draws as much of a blank for us as anything made in Bollywood.

What? We got animal planet tv channel here you know we are very progressive I mean what possible thing could the show be about that we have not already seen.
