The CW actively casts Black women as leads or mains and does absolutely nothing to support them against the nonstop misogynoir that they face and it is unacceptable that nothing has changed since Candice was cast literally six years ago.
This isn't a CW specific issue but because of how they're the only network that films in Vancouver exclusively (minus Roswell and now Walker) the actresses have to face isolation doubly. Plus, the (active) fandoms of these shows are incredibly young or old enough to know better.
Across all the shows, none of the casts, showrunners, crews, or other people involved vocally support these Black actresses and especially not at a level that would at all mitigate the bullshit that they get. Either support your actresses or don't cast!
Short addition to this is that the other networks don't have as many shows with Black women as main leads so it's hard to do a real comparison (and what does that say about casting at those networks' studios) but genre show fandoms ESPECIALLY are garbage.
