Sonequa Martin, the actress who plays Sasha in 'The Walking Dead,' has said that the producers of the show have got the best people for the roles.

On being asked about the three black characters' death in the show so far, Martin said that she does not think they (producers) were trying to perpetuate any kind of stereotype, adding that they had got the best people for the roles, TMZ reported.

Earlier, some fans were unhappy that the show decided to kill off another minority character and questioned whether the show was racist because Tyreese's death came in the middle of Black History Month.
