This is true, but it swings both ways. Often "erasure" is unrealistic.

Take like ... well, a lot of cop dramas on BBC that have basically all white people. It's weird, when the show takes place in modern England. Because it's not realistic to have it all white people. And I think a lot of that results from plain old lazy writing - the creators of the new shows are in some ways, copying or paying homage to the classic mystery shows and movies, most of which were all white people. In some of the old movies, it made sense... in the new movies, no. I think this happens a lot in film. We recycle old archetypes even if they've changed since then. It's laziness more than racism imo but it's not great.

This. God knows how many series in NYC have mostly White casts and White people only make 30% of NYers.

LBR, a lot of series usually take places in metropolises or major cities that would have a very profound populations of POC. Yet they usually only have one POC secondary character that is very, very rarely the main unless it is a comedy in a cable channel.
