You know, I've probably brought this up in the past here on James's LJ, but on race, I will always give Joss mad props for acknowledging on Angel that, you know, there are non-whites in Southern California.

It's better than Sunnydale, which doesn't seem to have any non-whites except when the vamps bus some in, but Angel's big demonstration of LA's human [1] diversity was what, the gang of Blackula killers in the first and second seasons? And their leader Gunn has to choose between being cannon-fodder for Angel or having contact with his buds?

1: Mind you, this could be another example of White People are Oblivious to Supernatural Threats. Maybe most of the blacks and hispanics who would have lived in LA took a look at the local demon population and decided that pretty much any town that didn't have an indigenous population of things that would eat them would be a better place to live.

The magical Los Angeles with no Hispanic people in it gets "mad props?" Really?

If one wants something that reflects the current Southern California, one is going to have to watch Telemundo or Univision.
