ABC's Diversity Is 'Authenticity,' Lee Says

ABC, the home of white-oriented comedies "Modern Family" and "The Middle," will introduce ethnic families in the sitcoms "black-ish," "Cristela" and "Fresh Off the Boat."

All of them have minority creators or producers or both behind the camera, which Paul Lee, ABC Entertainment Group president, said drives the shows' authenticity. "It is a mission statement to reflect America," said Lee,. "That's not so much diversity as authenticity when you reflect America."
