This week’s This Is Us episode featured a Sikh man, but no mention was made of his ethnicity. The casting was the result of a meeting set up by Superstore star Ferrera, NBC president Jennifer Salke and NBC’s showrunners in June. Ferrera heads up a group called Harness that encourages weaving underrepresented communities into the storytelling on NBC shows.
