That's not realistic. Can you imagine that happening seriously? That in every TV show that has a diverse cast there would have to be such a storyline. That is not what needs to happen. There just needs to be an equal amount of roles for non-whites as there are for white people. Not every black actor wants to come on to a show and do a storyline about race and prejudices. They want to act, the same as all other actors.</p></blockquote><p></p>
