The famous actress and screenwriter defined the show as representative of countrywide communities.
"If more shows like this are brought to the forefront and green-lit, we won't ever have those kinds of corny discussions about, 'Where's the diversity in this thing?'" she added.
Quinta believes that people of color shouldn't be 'shoved' into predominantly white shows, "honestly, don't stick me in Mrs. Maisel. I'd rather see a show that's about our people."
Thankfully we have started to see more on-screen diversity over the years. Let's hope this continues to escalate and minorities have more opportunities in more significant projects!
