Seems the only people capable of playing a convincing child molester, kiddie porn trafficker or serial rapist on these shows are middle-aged white males.

I don't like it, but who am I to censor what others may see?

Yes, but those stereotypes are counter-balanced with shows like Law and Order where the hero is also a white middle aged male

Good for them. Like most of reality TV it looked to be mind numbing filth anyway.

CSI ,Cold Case, and the Closer are basically White shows, done by Whites. And Whites don't have to worry about being stereotyped as a whole. Actually, I would read the rest of my posts on this thread for you to see what I'm talking about.

That would be nice. But not possible.

The real problem is that so many people are willing to sit down and watch this garbage.

There were no Black cast members on there, so no. I never really watched much of the show. I couldn't get into it.

I've noticed that. That doesn't surprise me. My question is "WHY"? Why do so many people like to watch those shows?

Because they're brain dead shallow minded idiots.

Not exactly comprehensive but it's the best theory I've been able to come up with.
