The diversity I see in the news. As mostly black then white. I see more black people doing crime then doing anything else. As they say black people are the bad guys. I see more black men then black woman doing crime. As them robbing the bank. As them shooting people. Also as them steeling cars. I saw the news is not diversity. Because most of the time it be black men on the news, doing the same crime. It will be 80% of the news about black people and 20% of white people.
