Television that is culturally diverse is gratifying, but diversity should also extend to the people behind cameras, because the state of diversity in American Television isn't that good yet, due white men are still dominating the field with approximately 70 to 80 percent of all TV episodes being directed by them.

In the last year, minorities have only directed 18 percent of all episodes; so hopefully those recent numbers mean a step in the right direction.

Accordingly, the TV show "Being Mary Jane" produced by BET with 4 seasons already, starring Gabrielle Union as a successful news journalist, is one of those rare examples in which minority performers dominate.

The show focuses on a black woman's identity while she steers her life between dating, career goals and familial expectations.

These are other rare examples in which minority performers dominate: Empire by FOX, Luke Cage by Marvel TV & ABC Studios, The Game by BET, Single Ladies by BET, American Crime produced by ABC, Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn by Nickelodeon; Jane the Virgin by The CW, American Crime Story by FX and Color Force, and the acclaimed Atlanta by RBA and MGM.
