Mike Henry, who has been voicing Cleveland Brown, an iconic black male character in Seth MacFarlane's "Family Guy" and "The Cleveland Show" for two decades, announced he is resigning, as the role has to be handed to a non-white person.
The statement has already caused a mass backlash, as numerous fans of the shows - including African Americans -told the actor they had no problem with him voicing the black character at all.
Some people also expressed their disappointment and stressed that the actor had made a mistake by joining the recent trend in the industry.
At the same time, numerous Twitterians used it as yet another opportunity to launch their meme machine, showing how absurd the situation is.
