Ahh okay, still, again, pilot and there are more characters. I would hope they'd reconsider casting before the series comes out.

@facade rereading what you said it seems like you're not really understanding the point. It's not just that there are racist fans it's that representation is good first and foremost, so we want people who aren't just white working on the production, and particularly as main characters, especially because this has been such a point of contention for so long, and been such a controversial matter in general, particularly given the 'waving aside race entirely' thing is more just an excuse to not really think about it (which leaves you open to putting your own bias into the writing, which reinforces making characters 'white coded' and eventually gives ammo to the people who want to attack anyone who wants to headcanon otherwise) It would certainly help a lot for all of those things, and also not hurt in any way whatsoever to have one of the main 4 be a POC at the very least.
