Attempts to diversify shows are usually incompetent. Look at UPN and WB - HORRIBLE yet diversified shows.
Sometimes I think these shows are created for the sake of diversity and not necessarily entertainment.

Well these people still see things as black and white plus they have piss poor writers.

Diversity for the sake of diversity is no better than enforced segregation. Having that token black guy in the show does not make racial relations any less tense, and, if I was black, would not make me feel any more appreciated.
Forced, false diversity is not the answer.

Are you white by any chance? Try putting yourself in other non white shoes for a chance and think about it some more.
Who says it has to be forced? It should be common as there are white people on tv. Having the token black guy on an all white show is not diversity. Having different types of people on the show is.

It's generally irrelevant to ask where the richness or depth of experience is in a trivial confection made to be ingested on the spur of the moment at the merest shallow pang of desire and with no requirement of containing anything of sustaining value.

Every watch PBS? Seseme Street? Hardly irrelevant for kids and adults alike.
