CBS show ‘Cupertino’ blasted for lack of Asians

“Calling a show ‘Cupertino’ and having a cast not full of Asians is like calling a show ‘Compton’ and having a cast with few black people,” an X user sniped.

Online critics claimed that the upcoming “Cupertino” series, named after the city in the heart of Silicon Valley that acts as a hub for the Bay Area tech industry and hosts Apple’s massive headquarters, is wildly out of touch with reality.

The series’ trailer features a black man and white woman as protagonist lawyers and appears to show only one person of Asian descent — despite 70% of the claiming Asian ancestry, according to US Census numbers.
