Yeah, it's kind of odd that blacks don't have more 19th century family heirlooms they'd like to have appraised. It's almost as if they weren't allowed to own anything back then.

As an avid watcher of American Pickers and Pawn Stars too, I can probably count on one hand the number of times anyone of color has been on selling something. Unfortunately, they're all on Hardcore Pawn trying to pawn their TV's for $20 frown.gif

Pantisocrat is from South Africa. He probably just doesn't understand the legacy of racism that pervades the United States.

If colored includes Asians then indeed there are amazing things to be found in South and SE Asia. Thing about Asian FOBs (and probably all FOBs) is they often don't emigrate w/ their household goods, thus few items to interest antiques roadshow producers and viewers in the States or UK. Asians also tend to favor new things.

We need a few more LA Riots and then we may have enough accumulation of goods to have such a show.
