    Before you downvote this, the article also talks about how color blind casting can elevate programs when done well. The advice given to the BBC is to not be lazy about it or you might do more harm than good.

      Good call out, and it’s an important one. No one is talking about not hiring people of different races or ethnicities, but if you do it like Netflix or Ubisoft does it literally does the reverse, calling out racial differences instead moving past them.

      It becomes pandering instead of helpful.

        I’m so glad we can talk about this here. Yes.
