On Monday, the network introduced an initiative that requires these shows to ensure that 50% of their casts are Black, Indigenous or People of Color, or BIPOC. Additionally, the network has committed to putting at least 25% of its development budget towards creators and producers who are BIPOC.
These reality TV targets will kick off during the 2021-22 broadcast season.
The reality TV genre is an area thats especially underrepresented, and needs to be more inclusive across development, casting, production and all phases of storytelling, George Cheeks, president and CEO for the CBS Entertainment Group, said in a statement.

I haven't turned on a CBS, NBC, or ABC station in at least 15 years. If they all folded up shop tomorrow I wouldn't notice or care.
Singing from the same page of that hymnal. :-)
Term that was made up by Neo-Marxists in late 2018 which all the woke people now use and act like it existed forever. Means Black, indigenous, people of color. Just more divisive BS.
Illegal racial discrimination.
With Anglos at 73%, a 50/50 split would overrepresent minorities. I guess Westerners aren’t allowed to have a homogenous population like the rest of the world?
But then you have to break down minorities: how many American Blacks, how many African blacks, how many european Blacks, how many American Indians, how many non-American indians, how many Mexicans, how many non-Mexican latinos (and their subsets), how many European spaniards, how many Caribs (and their subsets), how many Arabs (and their subsets), how many Asians (and their subsets), how many East Asians (and their subsets) and how many Polynesians (and their subsets) (and we could add Italians since Pelosi thinks she’s a minority race now, too)
But wait - are we including sexual preference, too? That triples the list of requirements for cast members
Always forcing people into groups...their groups. Dividers.
Talent NOT required? Guess I’m done with cbs. AS IF. I can’t remember the last time I saw any network tv.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION = SYSTEMIC RACISM/SEXISM
Thanks, it would take me months to figure that one out on my own. The indigenous people where I live call themselves “Indians.”
In further developments, all employees must send their children to Historically Black Colleges to major in African tribal art.
Shows for non-whites so don’t watch it if you’re White
And if it is The Amazing Race, at least one team must be gay. And not living in the suburbs quietly gay. No, they must be shashaying through the race, wear some asbestos because they are flamingly gay.
Does this include Ten in Australia which is owned now by CBS. I watch their version of Survivor which is far better than US version.
So how many
aborigines will they have ?
Yep
LOL, CBS
You should concentrate on good shows.
Bah...I don’t care. I quit watching your garbage except for Big Bang and Young Sheldon. The rest is pure pig slop.
[Can u imagine Big Bang with a different cast?]
Large percentages of people of color.
They’re trying to hold onto the little audience they have.
Expanding it apparently is too much work.
Just call ‘em sickle cell folks.
The Cuck network
That show loves its stereotypes. Flaming gays, Asians with strict daddy/mommy issues, black athletes, etc.
