"We've got to get this approved by the suits at network."

Dear suits at network, please weigh in on the following lingering things about my show-by-collective-hive-mind, RISK.

The results of the screen test poll are as follows:

Dylan Hart*, team leader: Lee Thompson Young [*since Dylan is unfortunately one of the whitest names ever, for serious -- do I change it? To what?]


Camilla Fairchild, combat expert: America Ferrera


Tabitha Brewer, infiltration expert: Alona Tal


Michael, technical expert: Percy Daggs [a) needs last name, b) it's cool that I have a bunch of men of color on my show who are paired with white women, right? am I doing Something Wrong with my imaginary show?]


Catherine Shea, linguistics consultant: Miracle Laurie [close race, omg!]


Alexander Lim: John Cho [according to the poll, actually, John Cho should play every role in this and every show, and I <3 this publicity shot.]


James Green*: Taylor Kitsch** [*Last name may be changed due to me muttering "Good shot, Green!" whenever I see it. Suggestions welcome!, **OK, he won the poll fair and square, but since Zachary Gilford lost out for Dylan, can I cast him as this? He's more clean-cut and therefore can pass more as being corporate.]

or


POLL to sum up my questions and because polls show that people like polls:

[Poll #1518565]

HAHA, yeah, there's an element of color-blindness in all- or mostly-white communities, I've found, where people are kind of actually blind to race instead of acknowledging it? I thought of casting Dylan a white mother though, for the name, and because I have cast white chicks as his love interests, so it would be all freudian? It's weird -- really, it's like I'm pretending this is an actual show, where people will write editorials about it based on promo shots without really reading it.
