pseudo-sports, like "Survivor" and "Battle Dome," to earnest documentaries,
like PBS's "American High,"


American High is hardly highbrow reality TV.

I thought 30% of the US is made up of minorities. The only time on American
High we see minorities (other than one person) is when they pass the white
leads in the hall.

I guess it would be hard to asked for proportional representation since they
are already represented steadily as crack-heads (and other criminals) on ER,
NYPD Blue and Law & Order.

American High is hardly American! It is in fact anti-American.
