In the casting, anyway. A little bit behind the cameras but mostly in front of them. <br /><br />Now we just have to wait for the other 249 networks to catch up, THEN we can start shifting the discussion from actors to crew, writers, producers, etc. of color. <br /><br />Then, perhaps a few decades from now when we get all of that sorted out, we'll move down to the next level, the people controlling advertising on those networks. I'm presuming by then that the whole diversity = white women thing will be over, and we'll get a little color on Madison Ave. <br /><br />Or the whole industry will collapse by then, and no meaningful numbers of people color will have gotten to earn a living working in advertising before it went south. That's also a possibility. Widescale, decades' long disenfranchisement that never gets resolved, and the ad industry disappears before any changes (beyond an influx of white women I mean) occur.
