This is the official reason why black Mannequins have become so popular:

"Black mannequins are in high demand within the retail world. Their colour serves to make them look less lifelike and more abstract. This way the customers' attention will be on the clothes displayed on the mannequins' bodies."

When you think about this it may very well be true.  It is also the way architects have gone with their "artist impressions"  of planned buildings, such as offices and shopping centres.  The 'people' are  represented by black silhouettes in their shape, so they do not detract from the important feature in the picture, the buildings themselves ;)

Britain has gone so far the other way on equality, race and so on.

spain is about twenty years behind maybe fifty in some areas. Recently the first prize in a womens squash tournament was legwax and a vibrator.

I know that ITV's Midsomer Murders got slated a few years back, for not having many ethnic characters. The producer at the time, Brian True-May, suggested that was due to the fact small country villages did not really have metropolitan communities, which I believe he is right.

Needless to say, that same programme, under a different producer, now has a significant number of such characters, and lost any realism it may have had.


Programmes set in more metropolitan areas - generally the big cities - should have a proportional spread of characters.


As said earlier, having positive discrimination will alienate many, and undo all the good progress that has been made over the last couple of decades, be it colour, gender, sexual orientation, whatever.
