Cue the asplosions!
With the announcement that season 2 of “True Detective” will star Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn, HBO has cemented its status as the home for white male supremacy:
@KatMcKinley There's a segment of the internet that is upset that True Detective season 2 will be starred by two white (straight) guys.

HBO should just change its name to KKK, are we right?
Two white male actors cast in season 2 of True Detective? You don't say…

True Detective literally reinvents itself after a season and STILL the leads are two white men? what a shame.

Two more middle aged white guys as leads? Oh, #TrueDetective you are truly VANGUARD television!

Disappointing news that Rachel McAdams (or a woman in general) isn't starring in season 2 of #TrueDetective. Two white dudes again? Boring.

True Detective replaced 2 white male actors with… 2 white male actors. WAY TO GO.

So True Detective's gonna have two more old white dudes. Great.
