Lack of white main character troubling


There is absolutely no excuse for a series like Empire to only use ethnic whites in minor and secondary roles.
OK this is purely a black business, and there are very story-driven reasons why that’s the case
So for me, there is absolutely no excuse in a show like that why there aren’t more prominent characters of white persuasion

Well, I'm white and I never noticed that there are not any whites. I LOVE this show.

Hey i do get what you're saying,but still this IS a good show ,whether black white whatever,it's still a good show that im VERY dedicated to and looking forward to watching every week,have not missed not one episode since day one,maybe right now the storylines just don't call for alot of "White actors" as you put it to be in right now,and like i was hinting at it should not make a difference on the racial makeup of the character's right now,still an awesome show,imo i don't think that make or break the show.

It doesn't matter to me. I don't need to see white characters to enjoy the show.

I think the OP is being sarcastic.
