The Debate
"Every night my family and I sit down to watch 'The Brash and the Backstabbing'," says Anne-Marie Broadside. "But where are the Liliputians like myself? Where are the Bigtopians? The Marche Noirians? People from those cultures can be just as brash and backstabbing, but we never see them on the screen. The government must act to remove this silent apartheid from our TV screens."
Choice #1

"Those Liliputians don't know how good they have it," says Dave Hamilton, spokesperson for the Tasmanians Against Ethnic Stereotyping. "Tasmanians are on television all the time, but always in crude, stereotypical roles. The answer is not to enforce ethnic quotas, but to award government prizes for the positive portrayal of minorities. That'll work better, and be cheaper, too."
Choice #2

"The government should do what now?" says TV studio executive Elizabeth Thiesen. "You've got to be kidding. We make soaps here, not documentaries. I should be able to put whichever characters I want into my shows. Quotas! Government prizes! God save me! Hasn't the government got anything better to do? Why don't they just back off and let society work out these things on its own?"
Choice #3

The Government Position?

Note: Sorry I missed yesterday. RL yesrerday and most of today has just been ugly busy with a capital U. I plan to put up a poll for UN membership on Saturday or Sunday and let it run through Monday night at least. If we vote for UN membership, someone else may need to be involved as my nation, POJ, is already a UN member. PM me if interested pendiing the vote this weekend.
