Funnily enough, Criminal Minds could get away with being more white than normal simply because serial killers (in the culturally popular sense) aren't as completely dominated by blacks. Not 95% but by using the "we made one inspired by X" they'd probably still end up with a majority.
And then they'd end up eventually with Wayne Williams who got away with killing a lot more children just because people threw hissy fits that they would even imply a black dude would kill black kids instead of white supremacists. Which fucked the whole investigation for a long time and proves it ain't just Hollywood that's always been like this.

Lonnie Franklin wasn't, but the guy I meant, Wayne Williams was. Mistake on my part, glad your question inspired me to check.
