What is the point of making a show if the people who could be shown a differing point of view would have no interest in it in the first place.
A better idea would be for people who do not have a generalized point of view of a group of people to express their own opinion.Not say that you have to force down a persons thought that they are wrong but it is quite possible that some folks have never thought of another point of view in the first place so simply expressing how you yourself feel could go a lot farther than you might expect.
I know in the area in live in there is a pizzeria owned by two brothers that fled Afghanistan back in the 1980s they are perfectly normal people and had been around in the community for years someone came by a few weeks after 9/11 2001 and made threats to them luckily this person was not a complete nut and did not do anything violent.Someone that knew the brothers heard about the incident and wrote a letter to the local paper telling of the brothers story and that they where not bad people.A few weeks later there was an article in the paper about the brothers and their shop and it turned out that the person who had made the threats actually came back after the letter showed up in the paper and apologized to them.
Other people where not so lucky a Sikh man got killed a few weeks or days after 9/11 in Arizona if I recall because some loons thought he was a Muslim.
If most people would simply think of other humans as being humans(what a concept I know) and that most people have the same basic concerns and desires in life things would be much better in this world but it turns out that the crazy minority gets the attention and the others think; "they must all be like that".
