In the media. As in, not talking about the fans. Talking entirely about the show's PR. Which, y'know, they actually have a good amount of control over. Hence why it is such a problem to draw attention to the "groundbreaking" portrayal of minorities on the show when they refuse to do that.

That's just from a quick Google search. But, you see, they -- the show -- keeps allowing this to come up in their PR, heck sometimes bringing it up themselves. How it's "diverse" and a "groundbreaking portrayal" and an "idealized world" where minorities are completely accepted and yet they -- the show -- don't actually present us with any of this in the show.

It's happened so much that even places that aren't praising the show for this have to acknowedge it: http://ladygeekgirl.wordpress.com/2014/02/22/teen-wolf-fandom-will-devour-itself-teen-wolf/
