mad men

I was watching Mad Men for the first time. I was struck that most of the characters had black nanny's. The people at the job are basically all the same. This is the way America used to be. But coming from a day that we have a African-American president. How can a show that shows life in the early 60's not include what is known as a racially biased show. Maybe that is the success of the show. It makes people dream of an age that is gone. A dream. Where men slept with the young women in the office. Its funny that they made sure they showed a single woman who is doing well in the workforce. With her own office and secretary. But why not put minorities in too. Minorities in positions of power. It is amc. So maybe that's what it was like. But when I first saw the show I thought it was the 50's. To find out the show takes place in 60's. Well we know what that age was like don't we. I was not around then. So maybe I do not know. I just fell uncomfortable watching that type of show. Where do I fit in? Would I be a gardener. The custodian. The milkman? Maybe the pool boy. Maybe not the pool boy.
