Diversity On 'The Walking Dead' Wasn't Always Handled Well (NPR)

NPR ^ | November 28, 2014 | Eric Deggans

[Drango]

The liberal moonbats have now turned their eyes on a FICTIONAL show about zombies, and in their current outrage, are tisk, tisking the diversity in the past. After all Atlanta is 50% black, why wasn't the cast 50% black.

Must be torture to think about diversity 24/7.

[Da Coyote]

NPR is soooo yesterday.

[DJ Frisat]

Who the frick cares about diversity on The Walking Dead??? IT’S A TV SHOW!!!!

Sheesh.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“...keeping your humanity in the midst of a zombie apocalypse.”

Well, for starters, don’t tune in to NPR! (Apocalypse or NOT!)

*SNORT*

[Nervous Tick]

>> Must be torture to think about diversity 24/7.

Would they be happy if the dead were, say, 80% to 90% black? I think that’s MORE than fair.

[OpusatFR]

It’s a zombie apocalypse. PC died along with the civilization.

[CatherineofAragon]

You want a good laugh? There was an article at HuffPo which said the Walking Dead is a white patriarchy. It was baying-at-the-moon crazy.

[FreedomStar3028]

One of the minorities on TWD is about to get beaten to death, by a little baseball bat named Lucy. Oh the whining that will occur afterward is gonna be epic.

[BitWielder1]

What a balance act it is to write a show nowadays.
Too little ethnicity among the main characters = racism.
Too much ethnicity among the zombies = racism.

[MUDDOG]

It’s a teachable moment.

I’m watching Z Nation now. Starting to like this show on Syfy.

[ealgeone]

You know...I haven’t see too much diversity on BET either...not many shows where whites are the stars....just sayin.

[Argus]

There aren’t enough black zombies.

[Rastus]

Unlike the race-baiters on NPR, I just watch the show and see people. I’m not sitting there counting up the blacks or Koreans or lesbians. Okay, well, the lesbian does kind of bother me. The funny thing is, she seems to kind of be making eyes at Glenn. If she declares her interest in a man, NPR will go ballistic.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Actually, NPR, The Walking Dead is a metaphor for the collapse of the welfare state and what's going to happen to the parasites whose only skill is swiping EBT cards.

Do you feel better now?

[TomGuy]

Nothing is any worse than trying to watch PC applied to an historical period movie or tv show. It makes the entire thing laughable and fake — to the non-liberals.

[TomGuy]

“Kid, it’s official: You have now seen it all.”

ZNation zombies on Viagra.

LOL

[cripplecreek]

LOL There’s a lot more humor in Z Nation than Walking Dead.

[klgator]

How soon before they start bitching about not enough gays? That will ensure the continuation of humanity.

[Flag_This]

I think they have a point... there are waaay too many English actors portraying Americans from the South.
