"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.

47. #44 lol
u need to calm down just a lil bit, no one is blaming you and I'm not black...this isn't about me or YOU..so yah calm down.
where do I start, no one said every channel excludes blacks or other minorities, but they were ESTABLISHED for that reason..
notice the PAST TENSE....
and when did AMERICA account for world civ (n I said western civ not world civ).
please go read up on white privilege...minorities are not getting special privileges.
TMZ isn't the forum to educate you..just go google white privilege or youtube Tim Wise on White Privilege..he is a WHITE man by the way..so u might actually listen to him...he will break it down for you so you understand why these so called "special treatments" blacks or minorities get are really not so special.
PEACE

48. **Read comment # 40--very important----and then read goof balls comment #43---I am a Cherokee Indian, now if they were to do a reality show on my peoples reservation, you can bet your bow and arrow you would not see any black people on the show...and why?--not because I'm racist but because blacks don't hang near my hood, just like blacks don't hang in Laguna Beach, where the Hills originated. Whoever started this "racist" question to Lauren is a trouble maker and very un-educated. Come talk to my peeps on the reservation about prejudice, not having black peeps on "The Hills" is normal since the gals grew up at the beach! Peace, Love and Happiness to all this Holiday Season

49. #47, i dont care who hangs out with who, or who MTV puts on the Hills...I was addressing the earlier points of why there is BET or Black beauty pageants or funds...etc
really beyond LC...just hard to digest some of the ignorant remarks being made.

50. Geez guys, we all bleed the same don't we? Why does it matter what race someone hangs out with most or at all? There are intelligent people and stupid people in EVERY race - I don't see much difference except in the amounts of melanin....

52. A big hell yeah to comment #1. Its not LC's fault that she grew up in OC. I'm from newport and the only black person around here is Kobe Bryant. Doesn't make me a racist.

53. I THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST ONE BLACK PERSON ON THE SHOW.....AND ONE OF ALL OTHER ETHNICITIES......GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE!

56. Oh terrific.. YET ANOTHER job for Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, and oh yea- P.Diddy (whom complained recently that there are not enough black models on the runways).

Who's gonna lose their job over THIS one?? A White Head has got to roll.. somewhere, anywhere...

My simple question is this.. Why is the word RACIST, always associated with, or referring to, a WHITE PERSON? Because by media standards, it's apparently impossible for a black person to be racist..? It's a two-way street ..and that's the fact! By statistics, most crimes are committed by black people. Another factual statistic, is that these crimes are committed AGAINST another BLACK person??

57. Stupid show! Too much drama with all those Bimbos!

58. Ain't it time Blacks stand on their own merrits and not sueing, extorting, and using race as an excuse to gain jobs that White's once held? TMZ nose race bating sells and they fleece everyone! TMZ using race as a story snatcher is low down cowerdly, but makes then $$$$$ and their shameless to expoit the races and religions to gain coin!

59. THANK YOU TMZ FOR PUTTING NOTICE ON AN ISSUE THAT IVE BEEN SPEAKING ABOUT SINCE LAGUNA BEACH! Why hasn't MTV written in any "pretty and rich" minority 20 somethings for the Hills? HMM, It's not a matter of race.....I think that its an intereting thought.....I'm guessing LC and friends don't hang out with us colored folks? LOL But, its all good....LC and friends can go kick rocks besdes, I dont think that the cast from the Hills has enough rhythm to keep up with me and my crew..As for Baldwin hills, that show is so boring and wack...

60. And your point? So she has no black friends, is that so wrong ? TMZ cracks me up. Imagine if us white people had an all white channel like the blacks do with their BET, that would be so wrong of us crackers. But the blacks can say and do what they want. Get a life TMZ
