CBS’ Diversity Showcase Heads Racist?

  • 7 years ago

According to several past participants, CBS’ Diversity Sketch Comedy Showcase may not be champion the diverse ideals you might think.
In a report published Friday, 20 past participants of the annual workshop told Vulture that casting director Fern Orenstein and the program’s former director Rick Nanjera required black actors to play slaves in sketches. They also asked Latina actresses to “slut it up” and body-shamed performers of both sexes.
