I wanted to ad this: I do get what you mean about the growing white-isation of the cast, though, I noticed that too, and was particularly irate on Nancy McNally's behalf (also because there's no particular reason why Nancy wasn't utilised more in earlier seasons, given how much Kate is used in S5-7).
I agree, but I think this had to do with the access they had to the actress as she teachers college and has many things that keep her in the east coast area - in fact I remember thinking that when all of sudden they deputy was used more - I think they wanted to do more stories were an NSA was needed - still they could have not cast another white girl - but she is someone Wells likes. I didn't like her so much until season 7 and I saw her on Broadway with Brad Whitford and she was the best part.
