Hallmark TV productions went on their social media channels sharing support for the BLM movement and then almost immediately got wrapped for being hypocritical as their specials tend to lack racial diversity. Which after watching a few (I was desperate, so hold the laughter and the jokes), I tend to agree with.

They do really lack featuring black actors as key cast members and as the article points out inter-racial couples are pretty well out of the question.

Here is more on this story, these are sensitive times and for media, be it radio or TV, you almost need sensitivity training on this issue as you don't want to seem to go overboard, but at the same time having a respectful, dignified approach to being fair, diverse and open to varying ethnic and sexual orientations.
