Yes, I'm white. And I did, when I was writing the post. In fact, I just did it again. And my opinion did not change. Unless you want me to put myself into the shoes of a RACIST, I just won't care what color the cast is.

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.

Given the "imaginative" nature of network executives, it WILL be forced. (I don't mean "forced" as in "forcefully imposed", I mean it as in "seems like its there just so nobody could point the finger") Having different types of people is good if the show is made about that and is quality material.
Forcing incoming shows to change their cast or leave, and choosing one show over another, because one show is "black", even though the other may get more viewers, is an unsound business practice, and related to the whole affirmative action thing. IMHO things like this only make the gap wider.
