Just because they have a snazzy website and a few programmers doesn't mean they are rolling in gold. Besides, businesses are in the buisness of making money. It has been many, many, years since a buisness' first concern were it's customers.

Maybe Totem looked at how popular (in this instance; how well they were selling) some of the ethnic girls were and decided that it wasn't cost effective.

They had enough money to go to LA for a shoot with some well known adult entertainers (even though we never saw the results of that, still no Shay Laren or Rachelle Roxxx) So I'm sure they have a decent amount of capital available for investment. They also had the means to hire plenty of ethnic girls for previous version of virtuagirl. So has that changed?

And I agree that's quite possible they made the decision it wasn't profitable enough in the past, but I feel like the very few ethnic girls weren't a fair sample to make such a sweeping judgment from, there have been other dancer's whose cards have done terribly and it isn't blamed on their ethnicity. Nevertheless, if such a decision was made, that is all the more reason this strike is in effect, to let Totem know there are those of us out her who will NOT pay for a SINGLE other card until there's greater diversity!

I thought Shay and Rachelle were cued up for the new XXX product, would make sense since we havent seen them or maybe internal Q&A revealed that they wern't good enough. As for diversity, maybe they haven't found any who are attractive and talented* enough to meet the standards.

Maybe the strikees here could provide suggestions of more ethnicly diverse women who are adequately talented*.
