Following an intense backlash from everyone ranging from the NAACP Hollywood Bureau to Scandal creator Shonda Rhimes, Deadline editor Mike Fleming Jr. has issued an apology in his weekly column, which was posted on Sunday. The original headline, he said, undermined Andreeva's goal, which was "to convey that there was such an uptick of TV pilot casting of people of color that it pinched white actors who've historically gotten most of the jobs, and to question if this could last if it was being treated as a fad." The only appropriate way to view racial diversity in casting is to see it as a wonderful thing, and to hope that Hollywood continues to make room for people of color.
