to the discussion. Are there a lot of posts here about how white people don't notice that there's no minorities? That white people have some psychological, racists, or other mental blocking mechanism that prevents them from noticing that a show has no minority actors? Did we all miss "the point"?

What white people notice is IRRELEVANT to the discussion. Who cares what white people notice? The problem is that there is a serious lack of minority actors working in Hollywood today. If white people noticed this, would it then be okay? Hell no, it would still be a problem. The OP, and much of the ensuing discussion, our little jaunt not withstanding, is all about the lack of minority actors and what we can or can't, should or shouldn't do to correct this situation.

The OP seems to suggest that Affirmative Action can correct this situation. On that point, I disagree.
