http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2004/aug/09/broadcasting.race2

The article outlines the attitude to which british asians had towards the asian family the ferrerias in the televison soup eastenders.

Points from the article:
"The Ferreiras don't represent Asians. The storylines don't do justice to the Asian community or their way of life.

It's good there are Asians in such a popular programme but they could have done so much more with them. The Ferreiras have no background. You can't put them in any context. Their storylines so far have all been negative.

The Ferreiras should just be killed off. They are pointless, boring and the storylines are rubbish. Something like Goodness Gracious Me is better representation. It was funny and good for both insiders and outsiders.
