Is showing racially diverse characters on TV forcing us to see black people? I thought it was just portraying reality and trying to take down stereotypes, but they shouldn't force me to see something I don't strictly identify with, right?

I don't intend to start a racial debate, what I'm trying to say is erasing social diversity for the sake of some people's tastes or beliefs ends up being harmful to minorities.

I don't know, if they do that is because they earn something with it. Controversy, new targets... If you don't like it (understandable, you have your taste) you have the choice of not buying it or making your own magazine with your own criteria or boundaries.
I see what you are saying.. but it's not quite comparable. You don't "expect" to see a certain thing when you turn on the TV, it is diverse. There is an expectation when you open a Playboy.. it's for a specific purpose.

Agreed, though if they did it is because they may have data to back up that decision, Idk.
