Why is it on "The First 48"....

...the only white people on the show are the detectives?

miami, hispanic officers
memphis, black officers
detroit, white/black officers
dallas mostly shows whites

There have also been several episodes where the perp was white, Hmbre97 just wanted to make an inflamatory and prejudiced statement. Granted, the majority of offenders on that show are something other than white, but to say that just the detectives are white is simply racist.

stereotypes exist for a reason!

Darn, you caught me.... but seriously. I'm hooked on this show and have been watching it every night for the past few weeks and have yet to see a single suspect that wasn't either black or mexican. That's probably 20-25 episodes so far. Just making an observation.

Just fyi, Dallas and Memphis are no longer a part of the show, I believe since 2008.

I think I've seen almost all of them and off the top of my head I can recall 4 of the killers being white.

[ELVIS]

I've been watching this show since it first aired... Not only are the investigators mutli racial, there are even women.

My personal fave was the one here in Dallas where a burning body was found and traced back to a hotel. When they went to search his room, there was a huge pool of blood on the floor. The cleaning crew had mentioned nothing of the find and even flipped over the blood soaked mattress and re-made the bed for the next guest!!!!!

I'm not racist but I did notice the same thing while watching tons of episodes.

[71chevellejohn]

because it's a reality show.

I've seen white people on there from Garland before.... Actually knew the asian who got put in the trunk at the pavillions in Garland. Stayed across the breezeway from him.


Anyone catch that episode where some junkie killed a guy and everyone in the neighborhood ran and picked up the bullets so the cops couldn't investigate and they could get their own revenge. The cops came back to the neighborhood the next day and it was tagged up on every building RIP. Crazy ass episode.

[Juiced4v]

Show is staged...

I'm confused? Yeah the guy was murdered.... put in the trunk of his white Lincoln sitting on 20's and dropped off in the cliff.
