There are a lot of meta issues regarding casting, and several fans (going by the Internet) were hoping for another POC companion (we\\\'ve only had a couple, one of whom wasn\\\'t a \\\"proper\\\" companion, as he was only in a few episodes before leaving the TARDIS), and ended up feeling annoyed when it turned out to not be the case. What\\\'s happened with Rita appears to have exacerbated things and caused quite a lot of dissent in the ranks, so to speak. Also, I hope this isn\\\'t rude, but you appear to be using a bit of a straw man argument with your (I\\\'m assuming rhetorical) question, which implies oversensitivity regarding an already well known issue in the media: the general lack of POC actors, especially in comparison to Caucasian ones.
