Where's the controversy?

“At USA Network, we believe life is richer and we are stronger as a country when we see beyond stereotypes and appreciate each other for the characters that we are. This is why, together with the support of the nation’s leading non-profits, we’ve launched Characters Unite, a new multimedia initiative designed to help form a more perfect union by:
1) combating prejudice, intolerance, discrimination and hate
and
2) promoting greater acceptance, understanding and mutual respect of all people.”

“When people talk about the USA, they often think of cities and suburbs. Red states and blue states. Black, white, yellow, brown, and whatever other colors apply.
But at USA Network, all we see are characters. Millions of smart, funny, quirky, heroic, shy, glamorous, fierce, stubborn characters, each one completely unlike the next.”

There's a controversy around this? Really? I swear some people have way too much free time. Heaven forbid we actually recognize that America is a melting pot. Peace and understanding might break out!
