CSI, reality & PC filters

Some time ago I again watched one of my favorite shows - the original CSI. The main crime to be solved on this episode was a group of youths were beating unsuspecting victims. I remembered that there was recently a crime in Las Vegas caught on video where a white, middle aged man was set upon by a group of male and female black youths for no reason. I had read in the news that the same group had done it to other people too. Being a white person this really scared me that any white person could be beaten for no reason by a group of black youths in the city.

Well lo and behold, CSI had to take reality and PC it. In the CSI episode just about every youth in the gang was white and the leader was white. The only black youth in the group was a college student (as opposed to the white kids who were all uneducated). This black youth was killed by Greg (a CSI agent) in self-defense but at the end of the show Greg was overcome with white-guilt for killing this poor innocent child. OK CSI didn't want to be complete copycats to an actual crime but this was blatent.

It reminded me of another episode from 2 or 3 years ago. There was a real life crime where a black woman hit a man with her car. The man was stuck in her windsheild and bled to death in her garage. Well, CSI took it on this real life crime where a suspect hit a man who got stuck in the windsheild. The suspect then kept the car in their garage and the victim bled to death. Ok, guess the race and gender of the person who hit pedestrian..... yep a white male. He was a young lawyer that didn't want to hurt his career. I guess it makes for better TV since people tend to hate sniveling young lawyers more than a lower class black woman.

I am not a racist. I believe in the truth, not a filtered truth that makes everyone feel better. CSI does everyone a disservice by making believe that "PC thinking" is reality when they are afraid to portray reality as reality.

What if an "old time" crime show came out and it showed groups of middle class blacks in Indiana in the 1920's lynching white people and hanging them from trees? Well, that is absolutely preposterous. That is the opposite of what actually happened. The races would be 100% reversed from reality. We have see the pictures.

So why is it not considered preposterous that CSI reverses the races from reality? We have seen the videos and the news...
