MOTD "too white" - BBC

Hey everyone.

Just came across this on the Daily Mail, apologies if a thread has already been made about it.

What are everyones thoughts on this? Personally, I think it's a bit ludicrous. Alan Shearer, Alan Hansen, Mark Lawrenson, Gary Linekar et al- they have of course earned the right to be regulars on this programme due to their service to the sport. I understand that in this day and age it is important to be as diverse as possible so as to not upset the PC brigade but surely to include a "token" non-white person purely for the sake that they aren't white would do more harm then good?

Thoughts? Sensible debate encouraged.
