I used to enjoy the fluffy stories they’d show just as an escape, but, being an Asian woman married to a Caucasian man, I got tired of never seeing a lead that I could relate to in their stories. I keep reading bits here and there that the heads of Hallmark programming are aware of their problem, but clearly they don’t appear to care because perhaps they cannot relate to anything other than White upper class life. I also quit watching the show Home & Family for this very same reason. Although they have Ken Wyngard, who is black and gay, who does many of their segments... everyone else is basically white, skinny and young...most likely under 55....so they lack in age diversity too!<br />Thank you for putting your blog out there. We need more attention called to these obvious issues.<br />Bettynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250867191573963083.post-10742451818519915162018-11-10T19:36:03.197-05:002018-11-10T19:36:03.197-05:00Thank you for leaving a comment.

Since I wrote this post last year, I noticed that Hallmark is slowly making changes such as with Holly Robinson Peete starring in the Morning Show Mystery movie series and they will be introducing a few diverse Christmas movies that will air this year. Hopefully, Hallmark will be making a bigger effort to include more diversity but I guess it's a start.Book Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13727316454820182747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250867191573963083.post-11894233551761570722018-11-10T18:58:57.606-05:002018-11-10T18:58:57.606-05:00Your observation about the lack of diversity is an...Your observation about the lack of diversity is an observation I have also made. It is difficult not to notice and for me detracts to our societal needs todayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
