So, question about Mike Rowe

[Lithos]

5. I will look for it

I've been informally scanning YouTube videos of the show's episodes and have yet to find anyone who he interviewed who was a minority. I'm sure I will find one or two - but the point I'm fairly sure I can make at this time is Mike and his show has a very biased and limited view of jobs in America and that it generally did not involve minority people.

The quick scan shows other than the US Military, he did no shows involving working at a large scale factory - such as one which dominates a town. (Ex. The Carrier jobs, farmers working for Monsanto). Almost all of his shows involved very unique positions (ex. Cattle Rancher, Chicken Sexer, Owl Vomit collector, Bat Guano Collector, etc.).

Does this make Mike Rowe a bigot, no. Does it make the producer a bigot, no. Is it more likely the show was nothing more than fluff designed towards a very specific demographic, yes. Does this make Mike Rowe an expert in Blue Collar jobs? No. Is he a personable person - yes, I've met him very briefly and I think he believes what he's saying, but to be honest, has never done a real job in his lifetime. In fact, his very biography shows just how hard he has tried to avoid doing any real work along with his very obvious disdain for the Union Blue Collars who make up most of the workers in theater.
