Diversity on TV

My friend Liz Lin just wrote a fantastic piece on The Salt Collective.

In it she responds to an article in which a “journalist” bemoans the fact that there are too many “ethnic shows” on TV these days and that “ethnic casting” is unfair to white actors.

I love the way Liz handles this sticky issue.  Here’s a little highlight to whet your appetite:

You know the feeling you get when you’re so dumbfounded by someone’s argument — at how poor the logic is, how absurd their points are — that words completely escape you? That you don’t even know how to respond, because doing so would require you to articulate facts so basic that you’ve long taken them for granted, like that the sky is blue or the sun is hot? That’s exactly how I felt by the end of Andreeva’s article. On a logical level, I was completely flabbergasted. But I was personally bothered, too.
