Is Hollywood too distracted by lecturing the rest of the country about diversity to insist upon it in their own ranks?

Singled out specifically were certain writing staffs:

Interesting…So, not 1 Black writer on staff @JimmyKimmelLive or @ColbertReport, or @Portlandia…??

No one loves Stewert and Colbert more than me… but each show has 1 woman writer out of 12. Unacceptable

So @emmys intro writing staffs of Colbert/Daily Show/Kimmel and there's not one Asian, Latino or black writer on any of the staffs? Wow.

Ironically, these same groups of writers are occasionally tasked with coming up with funny ways to mock the Right for a perceived lack of diversity.
