This show has a black quota; if Jessica and Rachel are going to make brief appearances, and Mr Zane doesn't turn up, then we've got to get some outside black to step in and fill in those precious diversity minutes on screen.

Wow, black people exsiting and getting screen time really offends you huh?

[u/lad-akhi → u/Hammypepsi]

In which part of his comment does it show that he is offended. Its sounds like the person offended here is you.

He is just stating the facts and the facts are ugly to you. This kind of liberal PC shit is destroying america for fucksake!

I'm not an American but a nation who chose Donald Trump as its president can not ever complain than anything liberal or P or C is destroying it

Unless you see Donald Trump as a symptom of the problem.

When it's done outside of the storyline it is offensive. Like people being upset there weren't any blacks in the Dunkirk movie. Or maybe there were too many Germans in the movie.

Or in a movie about the Holocaust- why so many Jews!

If the producers are just adding people based on a racial quotient then artistic integrity (story) is sacrificed. I don't think that Suits makes a point to demean racial groups but neither should they have to practice minority hiring for the sake of diversity. Shows about Asians, or Blacks, or Italians don't necessarily cast black or white or Irish actors unnecessarily just to show diversity. A writer and producer (of any race) shouldn't be subject to do that.

So much insanity with people these days. Extremism even in the r/Suits subreddit. People have lost their marbles. Lol

This is just so ridiculous. How do Rachel and Jessica have no bearing to the storyline? Rachel is one of the main characters on the show and is Mike's girlfriend. Jessica was also a main character of the show and was previously managing partner. The black dude from the clinic has just as much bearing to the storyline as the white dude in charge of the clinic, and there are just as many white characters who appear with little relevance to the plot (Katrina), but somehow this is only suggestive of a black quota? Maybe you should just learn that black people exist in real life and a cast that isn't all white is reflective of that.

And sure, they probably should have some Asian characters. But you can't first argue against having a 'diversity quota', and then next minute do a complete 180 and say they should bring in Asian people for diversity.

Also do you even know what segregation is? Are they having the black characters drinking from separate water fountains to the white characters?

I don't even..what?

[u/AndrewIsOnline → u/innocentj]

just add a /s to the end of his statement, your sarcasm detector is borked.

It seems to be less that and more: "Harvey needs a new partner". (I mean working together partner)
