REALLY, Nellie?! As co-editor-in-chief of Deadline, you should be ashamed of yourself for even considering writing how "ethnic castings" could be "too much of [a] good thing".
Hot Dough: Hollywood: Take Notes From The Walking Dead
Instead of touting the ethnic casting decisions in TV shows nowadays...
Instead of supporting the fact that the casting of non-Whites are slowly inching towards the current non-White demographic make-up of America...
Instead of exposing how casting in 2014 and before has not been "color-blind" AT ALL...
Instead of examining the non-White makeup of top positions in the media industry...
Instead of commenting on how non-Whites CAN and SHOULD lead projects...
Instead of reflecting on how non-Whites relate to experiences they see on screen...
Instead of analyzing ways in which behind-the-scenes staff could accommodate the changing diversity makeup of their casts...
Instead of analyzing how these TV shows with non-White leads and casts defy traditional stereotypes assigned to marginalized non-White folks...
Instead...
You, Nellie Andreeva, and Deadline, denounce (although faintly) the rise in the castings of non-White talents that have been LOOONG overdue.
It's like saying, "Universities nationwide had a 90% student population consisting of Whites up to now, but this past year, it's dwindled down to 80%. There are too many non-Whites attending Universities!! I think having 20% of non-Whites making up the student population might be too much!!"

| "There are too many ethnic people!! I can't breeeaathe!!" |
You,
among other like-minded folks, seem to feel stressed that your White
privilege, your entitlement, your White supremacy thinking, is being
challenged.
We don't tolerate ignorance. Please take your White fragility elsewhere - preferably not anywhere near communities and allies of ethnic people.
