The show is apparently set in New York but the cast and the walk ons seemed to be overwhelmingly white - disproportionately so.
Similarly with the aliens. The writers also managed to kill of all the aliens who weren't white.
I would be bothered by this if I thought of the show as being more than just entertainment. I don't so I'm not. But if I was.. and since this show is set in New York, I would want to see my Jewish characters...
shareCome on, one of the top three characters of the show is played by african american actor morris chestnut, so, what is the fuzz all about...
main antagonist is also played by a non-american actress... pretty democratic series in my view...

I find this show incredibly racist! It has been very obvious to me that the writers of this show VERY CLEARLY side with the human race over the alien race, and I find that to be totally unacceptable ...

I think the poster you replied to was making a tongue-in-cheek comment to draw attention to the facct that all humans are of the same race, so racism is really prejudice against, say, chimpanzees, not against, say, Chinese or hispanic people.
And he or she was probably also making a joke about how americans get on boards like this and try to find prejudice against different ethnic groups where none exists, because americans are obsessed with "race".

While you're on the subject... Why not point out that they also killed off the major male characters.
So the show isn't just racist, it's anti-menist too!
-rolls eyes-
If you see racism in the show, it is because you choose to.
As for me, I'm REALLY angry that the shark in Jaws is always type cast.
I mean, why is it a GREAT WHITE shark?!
Aren't there just as many GREAT BLACK sharks who could play that role?!
It's not just racist - it's specisit!
Sheesh...
lol...
a black shark would be a nice pick!
"It doesn't matter what Bram Stoker has told you... dead people don't come back from their graves"
You're right. They kill off black women too easily in this series. If FBI agent Malloque were white, they probably would not have skinned her alive like that.

But the Vs are really all green and scaly underneath.
I'd stop and say more but I'm off to a picnic in Whiteman Park.
Ooops! Are they still allowed to call it that? Racist, sexist....

I was going to complain about the anti-reptilian attitude that was incredibly insensitive, however this thread showed me that I should learn to pick my battles.
shareWho cares who is in the movie as long as they can act besides there were other people in it who were not white. We can have an all black television channel BET but we can't have a movie with alot of white characters in it? Get over it who cares about some dumb agenda of yours.
