A White Christmas

Fred Claus was on HBO before The No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency tonight. I really don't know much about it, but what I saw was Fred returning from apparently saving Christmas, and all the elves running to see the results in some giant snow globe: families opening their presents. I see that Fred's baseball team has black kids on it, which is nice, but not one of the families in the snow globe was black. One might have been Hispanic or possibly something Asian, it was hard to tell, they didn't stay on screen very long. But none were black.

Not one.

It's amazing to me that casting directors do this sort of thing. They just don't think.
