Judge Mathis

So I must cofess that occasionally I watch shows like Judge Mathis and The People's Court simply for the comedic relief of some of the people that waltz into the "courtrooms." However, there was one observation I made. Every judge has a bailiff of a different race. So after some research I found these judge shows:

Judge Judy - black baliff
Judge Mathis (black) - white bailiff
Judge David Young - black, female bailiff
The People's Court - Judge Maria Lopez- black bailiff

these are just a few. My question for thought is this. Does this bother anyone as a transparent attempt at political correctness or is it an over-analyzation of television?

  1. Haha! I don't watch those shows, but that is a great observation. I wonder if that was done on purpose... The fact it seems to even throughout the shows makes me think it might be. I think maybe it might be reading into something a little more than needed, but I could totally see someone saying.. Obviously I lost, the whole courtroom was full of black (white) people... (I say this noting the type of people usually on the show... silly. Keep your personal business to yourself)
