Riverdale executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has responded to actress Vanessa Morgan‘s recent social media posts about negative portrayals of Black people in media — including the very CW drama on which she is a series regular.

Morgan on Sunday posted that she is “tired of how black people are portrayed in Media, tired of us being portrayed as thugs, dangerous or angry scary people.

Tired of us also being used as sidekick non dimensional characters to our white leads.

The actress specifically addressed Riverdale two days later, writing, “Too bad I’m the only black series regular but also paid the least.

In response to the public outcry, Aguirre-Sacasa posted the following message to his social media accounts on Thursday night:.

All of the Riverdale writers made a donation to [Black Lives Matter], but we know where the work must happen for us

Morgan was promoted to series regular for Season 3
