Mike Henry, the voice of the character Cleveland Brown on the show “Family Guy”, announced on June 26, 2020 that he would be stepping down from his voice acting role on the series.
“It’s been an honor to play Cleveland on Family Guy for 20 years. I love this character, but persons of color should play characters of color. Therefore, I will be stepping down from the role,” Henry tweeted.

Henry is white and has voiced the character since the series started airing in 1999.
Earlier that same day, FOX revealed that it will no longer feature white actors in the voice roles of characters of color on “The Simpsons.”
“Moving forward, The Simpsons will no longer have white actors voice non-white actors,” the station declared in a statement.
The culture wars will not stop.
Should things continue the way they are, all of American culture will undergo a radical transformation on politically correct grounds by the end of 2020.
