Sunita Mani posted the letter to her Instagram on Monday, which she co-signed along with Sydelle Noel, Britney Young, Shakira Barrera, Kia Stevens and Ellen Wong. "The above is not posted to save Glow, it’s just some personal stuff that we want to share," wrote Mani. The letter says, in part: "GLOW has been marketed as a diverse ensemble, but for all of us diverse cast members, it has never lived up to these ideals. Since Season 1, the show has planted racial stereotyping into our character’s existence, yet your storylines are relegated to the sidelines in dealing with this conflict or have left us feeling like checked-boxes on a list. Unfortunately, we feel that the promise of this show has not been fulfilled. There is incredible support, love, and camaraderie amidst the GLOW cast, and it should go without saying that we are not here to take down our white castmates or our show, but to elevate us all in a deeper, more significant way. With zero persons of color in the writer’s room this season, it is a huge oversight to be writing our narratives without anyone else to represent us besides ourselves.”
