I'm sure I'll get backlash for point this out. But it's not just a black and white issue. Aziz Ansari points out in his new series "Master of None" how difficult it is for Indians and Asians to get roles in mainstream media.

I think we can all agree that Jews are holding everyone else back.

I mean he is right. Why are white conservatives so afraid to admit anything is possibly harder for a minority? I am not saying directors or producers are racist at all, but it is def harder to get a mainstream role as a minority. Most shows and movies will be written for strong white leads because that is the main target audience. Do I think this means they should be forced to hire minority actors? Absolutely not, I am all for capitalism and free choice for companies. However, Im not going to bury my head in the sand and say it is not harder for a black actor.

I think it's more about catering to what a large demographic wants. Especially on your network channels. For example, Eddie Huang (Creator of "Fresh off the boat") mentioned that when he originally pitched the series to executives. They liked some of his ideas. But needed to tailor it to mainstream America. Needless to say, he doesn't hate the series. But it's not what he originally intended on.
