Oh, god, it drives me crazy. I love this show, but it's horrifying to see Jones and Cruz in the background giving exposition and performing supportive services while all the character development and focus is on the two white guys. (And don't even get me started on the clueless way White Collar writes women solely in terms of their relation to and effect on men.)
I had pretty much sworn off American TV because these issues bother me so much, but then Matt Bomer had to go and be all pretty and talented and I couldn't resist. The sad thing is, White Collar is probably better than most current US shows (not that I can say for sure--I don't even have cable anymore). But obviously they have such a long way to go.
