"And we’re not talking about “a fat slob” here, we’re talking about talented actors who have won their parts due to their skills and abilities." ... LOL! That's absolutely not true at all. Candice Patton, who portrays Iris West (who is white in comics) in the Flash show is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen and she happens to be black. Yet she is the worst actress on that show and only got the role, because she is the mandatory black actor in Northern American TV shows.

FLASH isn’t a Marvel character or a Marvel show, but the same concepts apply.
But let’s talk about your last indignant line about “mandatory black actor in Northern American TV shows.” Like this is a crime against nature or something.
What percentage of the population in North America is black? And what percentage of the FLASH cast is black? if anything, they need two, maybe three more black faces in that show to achieve a balance that reflects reality.
And as that show has made abundantly clear, there’s nothing about Iris West that demands that the character be white.

Candice Patton is fucking awesome and is one of the best things about The Flash. But let’s examine this more...
