A new CBS legal drama “Cupertino” is facing fire for ignoring the city’s Asian majority—where over 70% of residents are Asian—by casting almost exclusively white actors in its trailer and main lineup. Set in Silicon Valley’s tech hub, the show promises to defend underdogs against corporate giants, yet fails to reflect the very communities it claims to champion. Critics call it a glaring “failure in reality,” especially as H-1B visa workers from Asia could be central to its legal narratives. With only one Indian American actor appearing in a few episodes, the lack of authentic representation has sparked outrage online. CBS hasn’t responded, and the show premieres October 8—with no sign of changes yet.
