As far as Diversity is concerned, yes, the majority of the stories used as backing for the show are Anglo-European in origin. However, that is a poor excuse to not use characters of other ethnicities. They could easily tweek the story, should they so desire. While Rapunzel was a failure as a story inclusion (my opinion), the idea of casting as a black woman as opposed to white was an interesting choice, and one that I liked. The failure was the story, not the casting.

Similar comments could be made about Ursula, Sidney, Lancelot, and Tamara. IT's not that they have not attemtpted, they have just not done a good job storywise with the characters cast.

I would not mind at all seeing more ethnically diverse characters on the show that provide real relevance.

Hype has already been discussed, and I have nothing to add there.

Tie-in plots - I'm going to have to disagree there. The plots that we see are what I would expect for this genre. This is not a sitcom, or a police/medical procedural show, it is a fantasy drama.
