"The Hills" Is, Like, Totally Whitewashed

There's a reason why BET had to come up with their own version of "The Hills" called "Baldwin Hills" -- not a single one of the main "characters" of LC's show is black.

Lauren Conrad: Click to watch
We asked her how it's possible she has no black friends -- No LC, it wasn't a trick question.

16. What a brain dead statement from TMZ (total moronz). I mean you know people from where you go in the run of the day. These people on the show are all young enough that race isn't an issue. So old middle aged man who owns TMZ must think this way.

The way I understand it... all those things you mentioned, came into existance because white people excluded / didnt allow black people to be apart of ANYTHING.

I agree with you saying, "Lets quit trying to promote racism and just left the past be just that... it can not be changed!!! All we can do is don't let it happen again! Support our leaders no matter their skin color just on their job ability!"

19. Um, yeah I'm black. I just got tired of The Hill but I will watch The City with Whitney. I like her best :)

Back to the point, some white people don't know any black people just like some black people don't know any white people, some Latinos don't know anyone from other races, some Asians don't know people from other races, it's not really that serious...

22. 2.5 I am sorry i was just questioning I was not making rules and really had not thought about it. You are right with all the exclusions that anyone other thatn caucasians had to endure. Well like I said we all do have freedom of expression, religion and that does make us equal. There is no need for TMZ to try to start stuff right??

I watch everything on television and don't care what who is on the television show or movie I make the determining factor of watching it ever again on the sustainance of the show. Not whether its G. Clooney or D. Washington and A. Jolie or V. Williams. I just liek to watch people who entertain not degrade people by their lyrics not just don't by black americans as sooo many portray. Blaa blalaa blaa I know but well thats what blogging and commenting is for.. Merry Christmas 2.5

24. not a huge fist in the air type black person. I watch MTV and not BET for certain undisclosed reasons. However, it's a viable question. I love the Hills. I always felt at some point a token black person (that can hang with white people) could be the new ratings spike that the hills producers always look for

25. If the Hills were to suddenly have a few new black people (actors) on the show, TMZ would then be "calling out" the Hills for having black people (actors) on the show. Either way, you just can't win!

26. jeeze TMzZ what is the racial demographic or makeup of Laguna Beach? UMMMMMM clue: WHITE. I happen to be black and grew up in a pretty white neighborhood and (ooh my) most of my friends are white. It is what it is...GD does this always have to be a federal investigation?

27. Leave the hills alone, go pick on another show, I like it just the way it is.

28. I been watchin the Hills and Laguna Beacsh for a minute, never thought about black people not being on the show. I just figured thats there life and more than likely they mostly associate themselves with white people, but not purposely. I gonna keep watching and I'll be watching the City also!

And for those who are saying something about all of the black organizations or networks, we were opressed for many years and did not always have the same rights as whites and today we are still treated differently because of our skin color (believe or not), as of other non-white races... so we are proud, and we use these organizations to overcome obstacles and struggles we go through in society. trust yall have thee same things its just not broadcasted because its the norm...lol!
