Didn't Disney come out and say they were going to hire more black actors to get rid of racial disparity in the movies or some shite like that? I don't have a problem with it but it seems like a typical Disney PC move. I don't want Star Wars to be a fricking political or equality statement.
What's the problem with intentionally putting together a racially diverse cast? Sounds smart to me.
If the characters race isn't an issue or matter in the context of the screen play, then the smart thing to do would be to put together a racially diverse cast.

I don't have a problem with there being more black people. It's just that Disney is actively trying to make it more racially diverse instead of just going off of who is best suited for a particular role. I don't think anyone should get a role just because they are white or black. It's a PR move and I hate it.

My only problem with it is that it often seems forced. You start seeing proportions of multiethnic groups that just don't seem typical.
Then in shows like New Girl they have the token black character that left for another TV role after the pilot episode. He is then replaced with another black actor. I find it even weirder that he is back on the show, and it comes off as very forced. But this is really for another thread anyhow.
