In recent years, a number of popular TV shows have been accused of portraying negative images of certain groups. This has caused uproar and concern amongst the public, especially since these shows often depict outdated and harmful stereotypes which further marginalise already disadvantaged groups.

To ensure that future TV shows avoid this issue, it is important to ensure representations of minority groups are not tokenistic or demeaning. This includes avoiding casting token black or minority ethnic actors in stereotypical roles such as servants and criminals. Networks should also consider using writers from minorities groups to give authentic voices to their characters. Finally, they should conduct research on cultural nuances and dynamics within communities so as to create rounded depictions which are not offensive or detrimental to those they portray.

Many TV shows have portrayed negative images of certain groups, including racial and ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, women, and many others. These portrayals can be hurtful and damaging to those who are negatively portrayed on television. There are a few steps which can be taken in order to avoid portraying certain groups in a negative way in the future.  First, it is important to recognize when your show is perpetuating harmful stereotypes or depictions of communities - this requires doing ample research as well as having members of the communities consulted on set or otherwise involved in the production process. Secondly – perhaps most importantly – it is essential for writers and creators to craft stories which highlight the humanity of all its characters equally - regardless of gender, race, ethnicity etc... Finally – as viewers– we all have a responsibility to speak out against shows which fail to adequately represent different identities.

By actively engaging audiences as allies rather than passive consumers– by calling out problematic behavior or representations- together we can create lasting change towards more ethical portrayals moving forward for everyone.
