Remember the Bait and Switch that happened in Heroes? Remember how people were really excited to have a diverse cast that were active in the storyline? Then season after season the number of people of colour were removed from the cast one by one until the last Season there were only 3 POC in the main cast
This is not the first time this happened, people are just noticing these things quicker and speaking up when they see the early stages of it like Sleepy Hollow.
- Introduction of more white characters than poc characters
- main characters of colour have screen time reduced.
- co-lead of colour are there to help push the white characters plot further while their plot are depicted as lesser
- characters of colour dying and or disappearing without further mention in the story line (where in the world is Luke? Abbie’s ex)
Mod: A
Also, the show Franklin and Bash did this as well with all their actors of color until the final season (that did poorly btw) was an all white cast.
