I don't need to see every ethnicity being represented in any kind of public campaign.
(Healthcare would probably be an exception bcos non-white races are more often overlooked when they develop symptoms for illnesses)
But being anti-woke shouldn't have been a valid reason to vote for such a POS convicted felon / racist / facist to be their president. Doing so speaks volumes about their level of intelligence.

See, this I disagree with. Gay people exist in the world, so they should exist on TV shows that portray the world. The reason they didn't before is because of the Ulics in the world, and the angry boys who fuel each others' hate.
People born before the 00's have been conditioned most of their lives to be uncomfortable with gay people, and like Ulic says, a lot of them are filled with hatred and "sick of it all" as they feed each other in a feedback loop.
For us older folks, we have to put effort in being more open minded. So on a TV series that has maybe 4 or 5 couples, maybe one of them is a gay couple. If you walk around the mall and see 4 or 5 couples, maybe one of them is a gay couple. And that's fine.
Also there are a lot of non whites in the world, so it makes sense that they'd be portrayed in popular culture as well. Ulic's angry boys may get so mad about it that they'll vote for a fascist, but that's just stating the why, not really a solution. Saying "you're wrong" over and over isn't going to make people see his way. We already fucking know, we've been saying it for years in this thread. The country has been in a fucked up place for centuries, and needs to grow up a bit. Some people will fight it, but that comes with the territory. Right now there's still enough people fighting it, and the other side apathetic about it, so here we are.
