Words.
"...There’s little doubt that as long as white writers, producers, and execs
dominate television, not much will change. Until then, TV’s take on
race will remain timid to the point of dishonesty. Often, when a comedy
or drama includes non-white characters, their function is to illustrate
the principle that race doesn’t matter. But no sane person who has
watched the news in the past four years, four months, or four weeks can
argue that we’re living in a postracial society or that there’s nothing
more to talk about, and shows that attempt to solve their diversity
problem by imagining that casting equals content can edge dangerously
close to tokenism..."
