Lenny Henry has accused the British TV industry of being racist.This topic covers the media issue of the representation of ethinics. "To find a black or Asian boom operator is as rare as seeing John McCririck on the cover of Vanity Fair". This quote from the comedian relates to the the BBC being 'hideously white' (which we have studied in class). Although media TV industries in the UK are representing ethnics on TV, the issue is the role of ethnics in off-screen roles and how it is predominantly white.
