Why are there so few people of color in Hallmark Movies?

A shop keeper maybe or a neighbor perhaps, but 90% of the actors in Hallmark Movies are white. And all the leads for sure. White, middle class folks – usually searching for love in some small town America dream world.
Don’t get me wrong, I like me some schmaltzy Hallmark Movies, especially the holiday ones, once in a blue – but there seems a better chance of seeing a blue person onscreen than an Asian, or African American, or Latino.
My wife is watching a marathon of “Christmas in July” flicks on the Hallmark Channel today. Aside from the mediocre acting and average production value, the lack of any diversity is pretty glaring after two or three of them.
Why might this be?
