To further clarify: there has been nothing but love for #LegendsOfTomorrow from all parties involved. The folks we work with at Berlanti, DC, WB and the CW ALL wanted the show to continue. They were fans, and still are. There are forces at play that are out of the control of all the above named entities. It's a hard time for all media makers, and pressures coming from all sides. We all wished for a different outcome. No one wanted this.

White TV showrunners, if you are in a position to put together a staff for your show, please begin by actively seeking out writers of color. Don’t wait until you’ve blown most of your writers budget hiring upper-level writers who look like/have a similar life experience as you. Your show will be just fine if you’re the token white person. In fact, it will be better. What happens is that suddenly you have little to no money left, but you still have to show an effort at diversity. So you hire a non-white staff writer and pat yourself on the back.
