That's absurd and easily disproven. You can go to any open casting call and see that it isn't true.

I can literally look at my casting stats and see it's true. On my last show 50% of the extras were black.

Of course you won't see a lot of blacks at open castings, they hop over the heads of everyone else due to diversity. I've literally had a black actors with a leading role in a film be poached the week before filming. He wasn't a great actor but he ticked a box for the other production so they were willing to pay him big money to screw us over.

That doesn't support your claim at all. Just because they got the job doesn't mean they got it because they were the majority of aplicants, which is your claim.

Yeah, no shit. Because the people casting them have an agenda.
