This is becoming the issue of the day in many industries in Britain, which is still overwhelmingly white, 90+ % and only between 2 and 3% of the population is black.

And yet, their Christmas adverts featured mostly bi-racial families...who were not South Asians and white, instead they were Afro-brits and Whites. I get the propaganda, esp since Harry is marrying a biracial woman, they wanted to get out in front and normalize the picture.

However, I have found an over representation on their tv series... 'Vera' for example, is set in Northumberland, an area that is .98% black and yet some of the episodes feature multiple black characters relative to very few generic South Asians.

Oh, and apparently the love of period dramas is the problem British tele is so white...

They did the same thing to “Midsomer Murders” a few years ago. I’m sure the average rural, agricultural village in England is just overflowing with minorities of color (not).
