I hate the mindset of, “We need more diversity” then something comes out that attempts to have some diversity and the response is, “Well it’s not representing ALL diversity therefore it is shit.”  

Do we need more diversity in our media?

Yes.

Do I expect one show to have every single type of person in it?

No.

But I just want SOMETHING, you know?  So when a show like Urbance has an awesome looking dark skinned cast (which, yes, skin color is a thing in the black community where people who are darker than others don’t think they’re as attractive, so yes, thank you, for cool looking dark skinned characters) that’s reason to celebrate, not crucify it because, “It’s missing some stuff” or “are they really PoC because future world where everyone looks like that.”  

Everything is missing some stuff, the point is to try.  You don’t have to cram in every kind of minority, I just want some representation that’s different than the norm.  I’m black and part of the LGBT community, I’m not going to get pissed off if I find a great cast of black characters but none of them are gay.  I can remember growing up watching great shows that had a predominately black cast that didn’t touch on LGBT issues, but hey, that didn’t mean that they didn’t touch on issues that were important to me.  Same can be said for every form of media you can think of.  I’ve seen great shows that empower women of color but not lesbian women of color.  I’ve seen great shows that talk about LGBT issues but don’t talk about race.  The point is to celebrate the series that try to have diversity, even a little bit, and not just the one sassy black friend or the hip swinging gay guy, but actual characters with a story to tell (and that’s characters with an “s,” as in more than one)  

So let's not give these shows a hard time because they don’t have every single minority group in one sitting, especially when the show is still developing and could very well introduce said person who is part of said group that’s missing.
