TV producer Shonda Rhimes recently tweeted about the lack of diversity on the new ABC Family show Bunheads. The creator of Private Practice, Grey’s Anatomy, and Scandal took to Twitter to say that she couldn’t feel good about her kid watching a show without a “dancer of color” during the show’s Monday night premiere.
