Midsomers Murders Accused Of Their Unrealistic Tv Portrayals Of Homicides

/// They added: “The typical fictional homicide is part of a planned series committed by a middle-aged white man or woman who is not intoxicated, sometimes using a bizarre weapon. In contrast, real homicides were almost all single, and were usually carried out by often intoxicated younger men from a more diverse ethnic origin, in an unplanned attack using a kitchen knife. They were also more likely to have a diagnosed mental disorder.” ///
In the quest to include more ethnic minorities actors in such mainly white TV shows such as Midsomers Murders, perhaps these could be cast as killers, so as to correct this inaccuracy?

I was told by a Dutchman that MM was unrealistic because there were almost no ethnic minorities involved(ridiculous plots aside). Where I lived in the UK the only ethnic minorities were the Indian and Chinese take aways. The vindaloo murders and the Bombays duck massacre are possibilities I suppose.

Totally agree. I only hope this isn't indicative of a lowering of the Indy's standards.
It almost looks like a hoax report which they've fallen for.
Why not attack 'Agatha Christie's Marple' for its unrealistic portrayal of the lives of the elderly in 50s Britain?
Or 'Peep Show' for not accurately reflecting the lives of 30-somethings?
Actually I take that back...it's pretty much spot on.
