People on here acting like this is just a US problem. #Racism is prevalent here too. Embedded in the fabric of society, the industry I'm in. Sometimes it's hard to keep fighting, when whenever you speak up, your silenced or, labelled as aggressive, difficult or "Chippy"

Just remember nobody wanted bulletproof, we were told #Bulletproof would never work or sell with two BLACK leads. NEVER. Look now.

That's mad! You're selling "British Bad Boys TV show" and people said that wouldn't work?

Some people have no vision. You deserve every success, it's a great show.

That's ridiculous at any time let alone in this day and age. You are both superb actors and in my opinion both well established before #bulletproof Very sad and angry you were told this, but so glad you persevered. It's one of the best shows I've seen in recent times. 👍

Unbelievable - I absolutely love the series and you guys. Colour shouldn't even be a thing now in 2020 and yet it persists and pervades society.

Bulletproof is the best show on the TV.. me and my husband laughed until we cried. Shouldn't matter what race, religion or sexual orientation you are 'if you got it you got it' and believe me you got it!!!!! 😀😀

And I'll just leave this here.

And not one of these other actors spoke up for me and the fact I was not on here, being as well known as most of them. pic.twitter.com/z3t3rXPBNy

It's insane. They put your name on the poster and heavily feature you in the trailer. So they know you're a draw
— Martyn Havell (@BadWilf) May 29, 2020

You're the most well known of that cast. By a light year.

Purely from a design side you'd have balanced the layout and pushed blimey more central! Unbelievable.

This absolutely blows my mind! If your names at the top you should be on the front
— Adam J Woodward (@AJ_Woodward1) May 30, 2020

You are literally the most familiar face in this line up. What the hell?

This is...well, I don't actually have words for how disgraceful this is. At some point in the next few months I'll be teaching lessons about representation in cinema; with your permission, I'd like to use this example. It's pretty conclusive.

This is disgusting @NoelClarke. As a mother of an actor of colour I see this, unfortunately, far to frequently. #racism #truth

Unacceptable. Sorry this is still happening ! We in society have so so much more work to do to fight the racism and inequality.
