I always appreciated the response from the Seinfeld writers that casting a black Elaine (promiscuous slut), George (habitual liar and usually unemployed), or minority Kramer (weird, never works but somehow has money, always looking for a quick score and buck) would have created a firestorm of protest that the minorities were being somehow slurred or stereotyped.

I remember, several years ago, reading a quote about The Cosby Show of the 80s. As you know, it presented a affluent black couple, both professionals, who had good kids, a nice home, and a loving relationship. Some studio person was overheard to say that one day maybe there could be a BLACK version of The Cosby Show.
