| How much television do you watch? |
I don't watch very much television, because I find that a lot of the programming
is violent or portrays different types of people in a negative manner, and I choose
not to watch too much of it... (such as) minorities, homosexuals, obese people. Any
category that you can fall in that isn't the standard.
|
| How do you think television portrays minorities? |
I think television portrays all minorities as, not all of us as criminals. But some
of us may be criminals, some of us may be stupid. Some of us may be whatever. It's
just not good. I can't recall seeing many minorities being heroes. They're always
the guys that the cops are chasing or the karate people are kicking down or whatever.
We're never the heroes. We're always the bad guys.

| How do you feel about violence on television? |
The thing that gets me the most about television is that the majority of the shows
that you see, whatever, movies, have to have the shoot outs and the killings and
the suspense, who done it, who didn't. And I'm not really into that. I feel like
there's so many things happening out here and on the street and in society that we
don't need to glorify it or watch it every day. It's already part of our life. I
don't think television should be some kind of fantasy thing, but it should be more
so of a problem solving tool as opposed to this is how it is so we're going to show
it.
|
| If there was one thing that you could change about television, what would that
be? |
Well, I would try to make it be more of a tool to solve problems that we have in
society. And I find that a lot of times they have the talk shows, and they've gotten
completely outrageous. It's just ridiculous, where they're not really discussing
serious issues. And those type of shows can be used to solve problems and serious
problems so one side will know where the other side is coming from. And they have
to be able to understand each other before they can change or fix anything. So I
think that I would change it so that it would be used as a communication, a mediation,
a conflict resolution.
