Most Characters White
April 17th, 2007 | Published in netflix
I noticed something interesting on Netflix today. When I looked at the “Information for Parents” for Signs, there was a yellow flag for social behavior. The reason given was “Most characters white”.
No matter what your take is on race in entertainment (I happen to believe that minorities are usually under–represented), I still don’t understand why that would be a reason to be wary of showing your child a film. I could be wrong (obviously).
Note: The information provided by Netflix actually comes from Common Sense Media.
