I would love to see an actress like Gabrielle Union be included in the cast. It would be nice to see a young, beautiful African American woman in her 20's or 30's, be part of the cast. I loved seeing Alfre Woodard play Betty Applewhite years ago, (she is beautiful also), but a younger, sexier, yet non-stereotypical role, for an African American, female, BOMBSHELL (like Halle Berry or Gabrielle Union, & so many more) would give the show some much needed diversity. Eva Longoria is beautiful and talented, but only represents one ethnic group. Even still, Eva has a more caucasian apperance that the world seems to find more acceptable and less threatening. Many young, beautiful, classy, African American women, could fit the part of an articulant, interesting, new character on this show. In this day and age, I'm suprised that their is not more diversity on a show like this. It's also important to keep in mind that women who are obviously of African descent, are indeed beautiful and deserve to be recognized as well.
