...young adults--serve as a sort of coolness shorthand, bestowing hipness on their shows and audience, serving as a conduit to cred for the majority group, just as racial minorities have in the past. From Norman Mailer's White Negro we've gone to the Gay Hetero. As a side benefit, these characters allow networks to put affluent white boys on the air and call it diversity.
