MT @zandywithaz: I hope, & I believe @Deadline is with me, that as they search for a new member, they keep One Direction all Caucasian.

Recap:
Deadline Hollywood released an article on Tuesday criticising the increased amount of "ethnic castings" occurring on television in the last year. In the article, the casting of POC leads is called "dubious" and the writer states that "the pendulum might have swung a bit too far", arguing that new shows are imposing "ethnic quotas" for casting. You can read more about it here. Deadline is now attempting to make some kind of statement by retweeting anyone who references the article.
