A coalition of minority groups issued a stern warning to the four major television networks Thursday, demanding that they take more substantial steps to improve the number of ethnic minorities involved in primetime television.

The warning, which involved threats of a boycott and/or legal action, coincides with the release of a second minority report card that showed that the majors were teetering on the brink of failure in implementing diversity.
