What’s wrong with his nose???

I’m sure the ratings will set records.

And the shows ratings fail in 3...2...1

Appears to be something brown on it.

"...teaming with Norman Lear for an all-Latino remake of his classic sitcom One Day at a Time"

Heck, will Nancy Drew even be female, or will she “identify” as something else?

[skeeter]

I'm all for diversity but IMO Nancy Drew should have more hair.

BTW I'm looking forward to CBS's remake of Shaft starring Jackie Chan.

What’s wrong with his brain? Oh, it’s full of white BS guilt apparently. Sounds like they may be excluding white folks based on their “race”. How about we remake the soon to be released movie about Jessie Owens and use a white guy to play the part?

[Nea Wood]

Well, horror of horrors that she be (ewwwww!) Caucasian! Chalk up one more white character changed to a “better” ethnicity. Imagine if some beloved black character was played by a white actor.

Why don’t they just make whiteness illegal? Why don’t they load us onto the boxcars and get it over with?

“[She will[ not [be] Caucasian,” he stressed. “I’d be open to any ethnicity.”(snip)

He means open to any ethnicity other than Caucasian.

Why can’t she be in a Burka?

[dfwgator]

How about an All-White version of “Good Times.”

[Paladin2]

Aren’t most Pakistanis Caucasian?

[C19fan]

Go for the three pointer: black, muslim, and lesbo.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Ah, the anti-caucasian campaign. Isn’t that nice.

1. I don’t care if they turn Nancy Drew into a puppy.
2. Liberal ideology is NUTS. I’m surprised they are not turning Nancy Drew into Nester Drew.

What is so funny is Hispanic TV is not into diversity. The content tends to be dominated by pure European background personalities. You hardly see Africans and Indigenous people.

[blueunicorn6]

What is this “CBS”?

[dfwgator]

What is so funny is Hispanic TV is not into diversity.

Especially the Novelas, as White as can be.

Reminds me of an old workplace tune:
"He wears a brown ring around his nose and every day it grows and grows".
