Unemployed reality TV stars seek their next 15 minutes of fame

The Next 15  is a new reality show about reality show stars who compare their lives from being on reality TV shows.   You would expect a show that looks into behind the scenes of reality TV to be as "real as it gets", but this show still carries the stereotypes placed on minorities.  Benzino, from Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, is portrayed as "another Black man that doesn't take care of his kids".  Karamo from Real World: Philidelphia is the one cast member that represents for the LBGT community.  Tiffany "New York" Pollard  from I Love New York and Flavor of Love, portrays the angry, crazy Black woman.  Claudia from Real Housewives of Atlanta is constantly mentioned for her slutty ways.  Laura and Jennifer from Basketball Wives both take the stereotypical gold digger spots on the cast.   From the trailer alone it is clear that the women will be placed into catty altercations to keep drama stirred up. All of the stereotypes are commonly portrayed in the reality TV world especially when it comes to women and minorities.
