I've been on predominantly 'white' shows before, and I had also been on predominantly 'black' shows. I would complain that when I was on a white show, they would only hire me because there was a black character or they needed a black voice. But then I would be mad if they went and hired a white dude in my position.

As a creative, you have to be your truest form. You can't worry about fitting into whatever boxes people want to put you in.
