Maybe there are just more whites that apply than blacks. There are quite a bit of black people on many of those shows you listed throughout the seasons, though they may not be the host. It doesn't really sound like you're concerned for any other race though beyond black even though you think they only cast white people. Wouldn't solving the problem your way only now make networks still racist, only now not against whites and blacks?

Why don't network show give Reality TV Shows to Black people who are not already famous?
- Thread starter Hank

I noticed that Networks like, History CH, Discovery CH, A&E and SY-FI do not give blacks Reality Shows as they do for whites who are not considered famous prior to shows being launched. Examples: Dog, All-Ghost Hunters Shows, American Pickers, Pawn Shop and the list goes on. However they only give show to blacks that are famous prior to show being launched. Example: The TO show, Mike Tyson, James Bubba Stewart and so on. Why is this? Does anyone think that American Networks are being racist by not offering unknown black talent to become famous in the Reality Show world as they clearly do for whites? Below is an example of what I mean.
