has tv become too diverse....?

I say she's full of it. There's still not enough diversity in the industry in my opinion.
Regardless of how she's trying to make it sound, what she's basically saying is that there's more diversity than she wants there to be.
I saw a program on cable called That Gal That Was In That Thing. It was a discussion among actresses about acting in Hollywood. I was surprised of their responses to issues like age, weight, race, family, gender roles, and other issues. Actress Alicia Coppolla mentioned that she can play many races and ethnicities, including black because her great grandmother was black. And the observation by actress Roma Maffia(she was in the film Disclosure as Michael Douglas' attorney and was in the film Nick Of Time with Johnny Depp, and other films and shows) explained how to succeed as an actress; don't go to Hollywood. She also talked about the issue of diversity. She explained that there is diversity in movies and television. But there is not enough.

There are too many 100 lb. white women who can beat up whole squads of grown men, and too many supermodels we're supposed to believe are hardcore cops

My response? 99 percent of what tv feeds me is still white
Preach it Hebrew
Yeah..like whites duh
The average American woman is plus sized and can throw some weight around if caught in a fight, yet the average woman on tv is like you said....100lbs soaking wet, performing all sorts of acts against men twice their size that defy the laws of physics
Where's the justice

Not just Whites though. Jewish people and gay people are also vastly over-represented.

Considering gay people are being killed in places where it's still officially/unofficially illegal to be gay (african countries...middle east, etc)..I'd see why they're in the media more often
It helps raise awareness and acceptance because face it, gay people are still widely shit upon by religions, cultures, etc
My parents never disowned me for being black

Hold on. I honestly do not want to watch TV shows with everyday looking women on there. Yeah, so Thea, after only a few months of training can now hold her own against trained assassins. Yes, it's highly improbable but so is a guy in a leather outfit fighting armed gunmen with nothing more than a bow and some trick arrows. Let the Supermodels kick some ass. It's all part of the fantasy.
Seriously, I don't want to see a bunch of everyday people on my TV. Give me the Hollywood pretty people so I can better separate myself from real life for that hour or so.
Shit, I live in Van Nuys, CA and I'm from the Detroit area. If I want the real life gritty, gritty I could easily observe it any time of day or night, 7 days a week. Miss me with them hulkish chicks who look like they could really kick some ass...lol

That is because Hollywood was started by Jewish people and continues to be run by Jewish people. There are actors and actresses that no one knew was Jewish. Sometimes, it was because they wanted to work, so they have to change their names to appeal to white America. Jewish people make fun of themselves a lot. I used to watch the sitcoms Mad About You and Dream On(Dorien Wilson had a few ir hookups on that show). I loved those shows. Gays are slowly being an accepted group on television because there are more roles for them(usually comedic). Steven Hill, who played IMF agent-in-charge Danny Briggs in the first season of Mission: Impossible, was an orthodox Jew and he couldn't work on Saturdays. So, Peter Graves replaced Hill in the character of Jim Phelps.
Gays also are harder working,creatively artistic and more focused than straights. They are more united than straights as a community. They know what's going on and they are very aware of the challenges faces them and their place in the world.
