Was it that diverse in 90s Wisconsin?
Just a question when I think of Wisconsin. I think of white peoples who love country music, hunting, and lots of farmers.
shareOutside of major cities like Milwaukee, it was probably rare but not impossible.
As I said in another thread, I grew up in a small suburb 20 minutes outside of Minneapolis and we had a lot of diversity for such a small area.
Minnesota is pretty well known for its welcoming immigration policies though. I'm not sure the same can be said about our neighbors or not. From my experiences working in Wisconsin, mainly in the La Crosse/Eau Claire areas..it's still pretty white even though La Crosse is a college town.
Maybe I’m just overthinking it it’s just something about the show it doesn’t feel like it’s the 90s. like for example teenagers going to the mall was a huge thing. There was no social media Kids did a lot more outdoors stuff talking on the phone for hours was a big thing too.
what you have to understand is that even NY during the 90s wasn't relatively that diverse, these shows aren't coming back because the producers think it would be cool and interesting to give you a look into their lives 20 years later, it's about a lesson in diversity and showing you how "tolerant" these people are.
I was made to watch the sex and the city reboot with my girlfriend, the show has zero storyline, it's just "oh look theres a POC, oh look heres someone who doesn't identify as a man or a woman"
it's just useless propaganda.
I've only watched the first episode, but this is one thing I was kinda worried about. A lot of shows now try to modernize how people talked and behaved, and basically jam current ideologies and dialogue into time periods where it has no business being.
What I love about Stranger Things was that the kids actually acted and spoke like kids in the 80's would. They rode their bikes around and played Dungeons and Dragons in their basement and arcade games at the gas station. They didn't sit around discussing politics and social issues.
I'm guessing this show doesn't go that route, from what you're saying and what I've read elsewhere.
The thing you have to remember about most 'liberals', particularly in the entertainment industry, media, and in politics, is that they're *not really* 'liberals'. They don't believe half the stuff they say and do. No, what they want you to believe is that the world is more progressive and fair than it actually is, or was.
As much as I detest Trump, one thing I'll give him credit for is an interview in which he admitted that the US was built on the theft and mistreatment of various people. Now, the difference between Trump and me, is that he kind of thinks that's a *good* thing, or that in order to defeat bad people/keep up with the Joneses, one has to be as bad, if not worse, than they are, BUT, at least he admits that the US is a nation mired in corruption and systemic unfairness.
Modern Hollywood is all about whitewashing the truth, and pretending that society was always woke and progressive. It's giving us the US that Americans like to believe exists, rather than the US that actually is, or was.
