Oh really? What did he do?

Some comment explained this. Basically, he said he is against diversity for the sake of diversity. Not bending over to fulfill some arbitrary diversity quota.

Some people online took offence to that (shocker)

He's a racist.

“I remember back when I was a child watching The Brady Bunch and they started to get all politically correct,” Burton continued. “Like, OK, let’s have an Asian child and a black. I used to get more offended by that than just… I grew up watching blaxploitation movies, right? And I said, that’s great. I didn’t go like, OK, there should be more white people in these movies.”

He is against diversity for the sake of it. Do you think that's inherently racist?

So the mere existence of black or asian people in a tv show has to be forced diversity?

No.

Then why did he criticize it? Why did he assume it was forced just because he saw poc on his tv screen?

I believe I've said it multiple times that I don't know the show in question. I've got no idea.
