survival time for redshirts of color....


Anyone else notice that the first two redshirts to grab weapons off the rack when Red Alert was called were both African-American? I burst out laughing, wondering if they'd manage to survive even long enough to see the enemy. I expected the weapons to explode as soon as they grabbed 'em. Talk about a double whammy... the black guy is always the first to die, the redshirts are always first to die...how many picoseconds could black redshirts last?? I hope that was some sort of inside joke, tho I have my doubts.
