This is how fast media change comes now: Moments after James Corden announced he was leaving his job as host of CBS' The Late Late Show in a year, social media began to fill up with messages – not about Corden's legacy in late night TV, but over who should get his job next.

And many of those messaging – myself included – say it's time for a non-white person to get that spot.
