Do kids TV shows have enough minority characters? Vinny Hurrell sits in for Stephen.

Vinny Hurrell sits in for Stephen.

Do kids TV shows have enough minority characters? A new study has claimed that programmes such as Paw Patrol and My Little Pony could be making your child 'prejudiced'. The study, titled Is TV Making Your Child Prejudiced?, has argued that preschool entertainment is guilty of poor minority representation and the use of stereotypes. So what do you think at home? Does children's TV need to do more to be inclusive? Vinny spoke to commentators Angela Epstein and Phil Kelly.
