TVD racism (referring to season 7)

I just recently realized that they made Beau, a black character on the show, a mute. Meaning, in Hollywood he’s getting paid significantly less than the rest of the cast because he has absolutely no lines, he’s essentially like a background actor. I’m still so upset at how quickly Sarah salvatore was gone just as soon as she was introduced. What is TVDs vendetta against black people? It’s like them constantly ruining Bonnie’s life was them living out a fantasy or something.
