    I am still not clear how including black people or autistic people is political?

      Did you know the US used to have segregation? Of course showing black people on TV is political. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/611570/when-mississippi-banned-sesame-street https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/611570/when-mississippi-...

    Admitting that black or autistic people exist is political now. Gotcha.

      It certainly is to the people complaining that TV is too political. It’s even worse if they admit gay people exist.
