The Beandocks Deadline Hollywood Newsflash: Is there too much "ethnic TV casting? Cuco Rocha: WHAT? Too much color on TV? You've got to be kidding me! Wait, here comes another story. Deadling Hollywood Newsflash: Do we have too many minority writers on staff at Deadline Hollywood? No.
As I have said many times, Hollywood is profit driven. If a star brings in the big bucks or a story line does, you will see said star in that role till Hollywood has milked it dry. TV is becoming more diversified both locally and in shows. Down here in the Tampa channels I think Caucasian’s on the news crews are about 40%. Again it is profit driven, as the public choice dictates who they hire. To whine and cry about percentages in Hollywood movies is a total waste of time. All the public has to do is patronize movies with people of their own ethnicity, Hollywood will listen to the dollars.
