How do you think families are portrayed on television? The way television and movies portray family is kind of unfair. Because reality is another thing. Family values are really down the drain. So we should concentrate more on family values and really try to portray it in a reality type of sense. I mean, not everything that you see on family programs is true. It's unfair, but it's not true.
 
How do you think people of different races are portrayed on television? When I see the situations of race, the way it's portrayed on TV, it's unfair. It's unfair because if you look at the borders of the United States, every time you hear about race, it's only about the Mexican. But why don't we look up to the north, the Canadian, the border. You never hear any complaints about the north, Canadians having problems. Why? Because their skin is white. They don't come to America to work on the farms. The Mexicans, they do. So why should we be picking on them, when the reality is that if you offer me that job to work as a farm hand for maybe two or three bucks an hour, or maybe all day, I am not going to do it. I'm not going to do it.
 
How do you feel about violence on TV, and how would you change it? We have way too much or too many violence on TV. We sell violence. I mean, we sell it. It's like if anything happened, well, it was done by this group or that group, and we sell it as that. And I think that has to change, and it has to start from the top. Government. The President should do something about it and work its way down the chain of command and have the television industry take a more responsible role on the way our children are educated now. Watching TV, I mean, most of the kids nowadays spend half of their life watching television. And what they see is what they portray out in the real world, which is unfair. Nowadays we have so much crime, and the crime is committed by teenagers or kids under 10.
