Okay, I've been trying to find a way of saying this for a couple of hours now. I'm finding wording it hard, and I know it's a bit derailing, but I'm going to come out and say it anyway

Asexuals in TV are almost exclusively white and male. If I define 'asexuality' as one of my criteria for Shows I Must Try Once (which I do), then guess what? I end up watching a lot of white guys.

Please don't assume that 'two white guys' is necessarily un-diverse. It's not perfect, I agree. God knows I worship shows like Sarah-Jane Adventures, that manage to be almost or completely romance-free while still being diverse. But I, and presumably quite a few other people on my flist, are watching things like Sherlock and Doctor Who because those are the only shows where we can see an important part of ourselves in the (white, male) cast.

I apologise for the derailment and I apologise if this comes off as defensive: as I said, I'm having trouble with tone. I had to say it.
