    It is actually fairly easy to do. (I've worked in TV for over 15yrs now). Especially if the graphics guy isn't very politically knowledgable - which is extremely believable.
    I've known graphics guys working on sports broadcasts that don't care about and are not very knowledgable in sports.
    I know a graphic guy who's got an almost daily gig working on a Christian TV program, yet he's a non-practicing Jew.
    I've known people who don't believe in Gay rights yet they worked on a Gay TV network.

    Live On-air GRFX guys are hard to find sometimes - because not many people know how to run a Chyron Duet or a VizRT system very well.

    I see mistakes like this OFTEN on TV - I do believe that FOX gets called out for it a lot more, because it is being watched for much more closely than the other networks.

    I applaud them for bringing the mistake to the public before other people did.

    We're all related, why shouldn't we look alike?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toba_catastrophe_theory

    "According to the supporters of the genetic bottleneck theory, between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago, human population suffered a severe population decrease—only 3,000 to 10,000 individuals survived—followed eventually by rapid population increase, innovation, progress and migration.[26] Several geneticists, including Lynn Jorde and Henry Harpending have proposed that the human race was reduced to approximately five to ten thousand people.[27] Genetic evidence suggests that all humans alive today, despite apparent variety, are descended from a very small population, perhaps between 1,000 to 10,000 breeding pairs about 70,000 years ago."

    That's actually the main argument in getting the Arizona law repealed.

    All the others? Who in this thread is taking this seriously besides a few? As I stated, I placed it here because of the subject matter and that is the only reason. Calm down!

    If I had to rank which race of people look alike the most:

    1. The Whites
    2. The Asians
    3. The Blacks
    4. The Hispanics

    Interesting. A Japanese girlfriend and I were having this conversation once and she said the same thing. I asked how this could be, given that whites had the highest incidences of/propensity for different colored hair and eyes, thus equaling the most variety. She this had the opposite effect and was the very reason why to her, white people looked more similar than not....something to the effect that having to subconsciously memorize those very differences made white folks look alike.

    In a way, and though I still disagreed, the way she explained it somehow made sense, though I'm not doing her explanation any justification here.

    So....you're Asian if I remember correctly?....I'm interested in your take on this.

    :cool:
