Journal 4: The Vampire Diaries

The Vampire Diaries clearly does not represent reality, because they deal with supernatural things like Vampires, Werewolves, Hybrid-vampire-werewolves, and witches.

But, the show has been showing some consistencies. So far, they have been following a typical horror convention where they always kill off the minority. Even friom season 1, the first ones to die have usually been black people. Also, every single witch that we have seen in the show, has been black. One could make the argument that they must all be descendants of the Bennett family but they never showed any evidence of that and there must be more witches out there who aren't part of the same family. I don't know that it's a coincidence but we have yet to see a change.
