Nah even in the early 2000s there was plenty of "diversity" that was being forced down everyone's throat, muslims couldn't be terrorists it always had to be white guys who were behind the attacks ultimately etc...
But at least they're not as bad as what would happen next in 2015 onward.

Oh, for sure, but the 2000s were the template for what would happen then. Already forced diversity was happening then and people were rolling their eyes and saying that PC had died in the late 90s and to leave it alone

I disagree I grew up a lot in the 2000s and there nothing wasn't that much PC stuff.

That's because you grew up being force fed that shit. Those of us who grew up in the 80s definitely saw it. One of the main reason people were shitting on 24 was the muslim thing I mentioned, etc... This was happening in all movies or anything that had to do with muslims, and they were already trying to force diversity in places where it didn't need to be. Even Friends started to introduce black characters at this point because people complained they were 'too white'.

Okay whatever.
Funny you mentioned Friends. Considering current day you got wokies complaining how it's too white. Seems they failed on that one.
Listen I'm just saying I'm noticing diversity shit of the 2010s being completely different form 2000s diversity.

And I'm saying you can ask anyone older than you and they'll tell you that this stuff was happening constantly in the 2000s. The President was now a woman, or black, or whatever. Gay couples or gay people in tv shows popping up all the time. Interracial marriages. It all started to blow up in the 2000s.
Will you two stop having a pissing contest as to which decade is better? Both 90s and 2000s are the final two great decades.

The last great decade was the 1790s before Napoleon's humanist ideology took over Europe and irredeamably pozzed Western civilization leading us to the slow collapse and finally its death throes we're in the midst of.
Well yea, America has been fundamentally flawed ever since its discovery and formation. Even the constitutional rights had shit grammar when it was first written.

When I was a kid, my siblings and I were obsessed with Backyard Baseball and none of the diversity had felt forced. Growing up in a pretty safe and racially/economically diverse suburb, it genuinely felt like a group of local kids and their tagalong siblings. Obviously it was 1997 and they leaned into a few stereotypes, but I played a romhack of it recently and I appreciate that they didn't make all the stronk minorities automatically OP (the disabled Asian and the husky black girl had their strengths with pitching/hitting but cleared the bases slowly, etc.) and it made it fun to build a team.
But I never used Lisa Crockett. Useless cunt.

I don't know if it qualifies really, but out of all the trash on Netflix, there is a series that recently released called Beef, starring Glenn from TWD and Amy Wong.
It's mostly all Asian cast, the one white woman i can remember in the show was a gay CEO, can't recall any white male characters of any substance and no black characters unless I'm forgetting someone.
But I was pleasantly surprised at how well paced and thoughtfully crafted the series is. There's tons of subtle foreshadowing, the writers have respect for the audiences intelligence by not spelling every little nuance out and the cast all give really good performances and their characters behave realistically to their personality and motivations.
I really enjoyed how the craziness ratchets up till the very end, with one scene in particular just going into Sam Raimi territory with a comically brutal death for one of the characters that comes out of nowhere.
Glenn's character, Danny, is overtly racist at times tho, calling his brothers gf (not really, but its a spoiler) a "white devil" that's corrupting his Korean brain. He also comments on how "western therapy doesn't work on Asian minds". It's kind of in-character, cuz he's a frustrated dude with anger problems, and none of the other characters seem to share his views.

What is he if not white? Dee Dee's Asian friend is literally yellow, but this guy is white.2. Mandark/Susan.
Looking back on it now I know he's not white, but at the time, I just knew him as Dexter's arrogant rival who hides his loneliness with his lab and tech, only finding meaning in antagonizing (or "playing with") hisbest friendarch nemesis Dexter and his crush on Deedee. He got his heart crushed by Deedee and struggled to find his own identity amidst heavy smothering from his hippie parents. I thought of all of this before I ever wondered what race he was, and I honestly wouldn't have cared if he and every member of the show's cast was white, because it was a really entertaining show and I didn't need to see people of my race in an American cartoon to feel good about myself.
I feel like if you like or even vaguely remember a character and then later remember "oh right she's Asian", that's a really well done character.

Hunh. Always thought he was some type of Indian/Pakistani or something like that. He and his family were consistently drawn a darker shade than everyone else, plus with the hippie thing it made sense.
But I see their surname is Astronomanov so..... Russian? So Mandark is of European descent. Hunh. Go figure
Yellow was used specifically for Chinese people no? That's why I didn't expect him to be yellow as well.

LOST was very diverse, and never came off as if it was trying to for good boy points.

His last name is Astronominov, so he’s White insofar you consider Slavs White.
