The Real World PARIS....where are we?

The new season begins Tuesday, but I think maybe in all the years it has been on, we are not represented.

Isn't one of the guys on the show mixed? My computer at work is messing up so I can't get the pic. I believe his name is Adam.

Re: Adam
It only mentions his father toured with an R&B band.

I've already decided not to watch this season.

They should cancel it and put "Real Black" on BET so I can be on it and y'all can laugh.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw some of the previews last week. I was kind of thinking that ole boy Adam was reppin for us, but like dardenr stated I ain't claiming him either. This one looks really boring, and after all that went on with the Vegas show, this one seems as if it won;t live up to the Vegas hype.

I second the motion, but I would prefer it be on the Black Starz channel.

I would be "GhettoGyrl7"!

Nikki1920 is right, RW is getting very OLD and quite tired to me, and I guess this will be one season I WILL NOT watch. How is it that we are not even represented??? Just for that reason alone im not watching!

I didn't see the show, but why are folx not claiming Adam even though his father probably is AfAm? Is it a case of his upbringing, attitudes, or something? Remember, we're not all alike.

I feel like Adam is somewhere between assimilationist and coon. That's why I'm not claiming him. (so far....he could prove me wrong)

I can understand that we're all different, but I'm not so sure that Adam is claiming us, either.

Although I've been a faithful RW viewer since Season 1 (still my favorite), I don't think I will waste my time watching RW Paris. Sorry, can't be bothered with this particular cast of roomates.

dardenr,

Gracias for your response.

LOL at assimilationist and coon reference. I was curious because Arissa and Irulan are also biracial people, and I didn't get any sense that people weren't claiming them.

Also, I was just on another board, and people were wondering whether Adam (who they referred to as black) was in fact a repressed closet-case person because he was always talking about dropping hammer on "hot chicks."
