At least have someone suggest it.

The follow statement may be clouded because I'm white:

I think it's unfair to expect any one show to "push", so to speak, non white actors. I think they're choosing the best actor from whatever pool they have at the time, and unfortunately, Hollywood and TV are still predominately white.

What irks me in a way is how "white" people are just lumped together anyway, similar to how "Asian" people are. There are dozens of separate ethnicites that people refer to as "white", and many Europeans are featured on the show.

The thing that bothers me as far ethnicity on the show is how accents are treated. We have several Irish actors who are covering up their accents, including one for no reason, truly, while other actors are just using their normal voices. They're even accommodated for when casting their relatives.
