You may remember every single white person’s demise. That was just a possible explanation. My point was that almost certainly more whites than minorities have bought it, though minority deaths are the only ones that people argue are part of a pattern.
Like I said, there is a pattern. It is that minorities are more likely to be peripheral characters, and therefore black characters are more likely to die. Think about the scene where the last black guy died, which is purportedly suspiciously close to the entry of a new black guy, as if the forener had to leave to make room for the latter. Who would you have killed, assuming someone had to die to make the danger more real and the escape more exciting? Not Rick or Daryl, certainly. Probably not Glen. Maybe Maggie, but we just went through her and Glen being reunited, and they are the only love story (not counting the governor and Andrea).
I guess they could have brought the white convict instead of the big black one, but it made sense how he ended up going.

If it had been up to me, Axel, aka General Custer, would have bought it. But I agree that Oscar was more of an asset during the raid, physically.
However, I don't buy that the writers have some idea they have to get rid of a black guy to insert another.
