Apparently interracial dating is too much for MTV.

I just watched a little bit of "Next," which the teenager told me is MTV's little dating show.
One person gets to pick from five. She said there was even (gasp!) a gay episode.
But the one I just saw floored me. White choices for white people, black choices for black people. :eyes:

2. If MTV is going to adopt the social morays...

of a 19th century Victorian novel, maybe it could adjust its attention span accordingly.

3. I've seen ones that had different races--MTV is pretty cool with that.

You might take issue with the guys/girls. I imagine MTV asks or they tell MTV whether all races are okay. You never know.You think some people are totally cool, and then they say they're looking for only white people, or only black people, or whatever.

But I have seen two or three eps whilst flipping through, where they had at least one of another race on that bus.

And didn't MTV just have an interracial dating special a few months back?

I watch very closely for things like this, since I dig the white boys in addition to the other kinds.

4. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt

And to be fair, I've only seen a little bit.
