The very conservative church I attend has a number of African families. It would simply be reflecting Australian society as it is. Indeed. I have a couple of African families move into my street a couple of years ago. Very nice people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fangirloverload101 Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 I'm starting to wonder if the Morgans are mixed race. Like I'm wondering if either their mum or dad were people of colour because not only does Justin look like a POC, but his daughter looks like a POC too. And the actor who plays Justin is a POC. I also think Mason could pass as a POC. (I'm not sure what the actor's ethnicity is though). I think it'd be really good representation because there aren't many POC characters on the show.

How is it good when we have to guess? It would be nice if they acknowledged it. Why is it so hard for this show to hire someone with dark skin?

Blaxland 89 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Even leaving out things like race and sexuality there's barely and diversity within the characters they do have! Years ago the characters were far more defined from each other than now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylover Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I prefer dark-skin men, they are more attractive so I think Mason and Justin are very good looking men. It makes no sense that Tori is their sister though, unless they had 1 Australian parent and 1 foreign parent. Jack Wilson's actor had a diverse background too, probably why he was nice looking too. What is a POC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadyctslover Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 ^ Person Of Colour? Is there anything that can be done about this situation? Network 7 should be ashamed of this behaviour, but it is not being talked about in Australian media as far as I am aware. The last time I can remember this issue in the news was when Jay Laga'aia was written out, and accused the show of making the decision based on his ethnicity.

It's been established that their mother Kate was Caucasian and their father Koby was Asian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
