lumos-maxima: degaussedkaren: Also, race is never presented as a key part of how the characters are defined or identified or developed. You know how in Glee, Mercedes is the black girl and Kurt is the gay boy and blah blah blah? In Misfits, they’re not like “This is Alisha. She’s black and therefore sassy, curvy, and loud. Her primary function is to bring soul and snappy advice to white people, who are the true protagonists.” Instead, it’s “This is Alisha. Her attributes, problems, complexities, and characteristics are completely unrelated to her ethnicity because she’s a human being.” On this show, race doesn’t enter the equation in terms of the characterization or plot advancement, which I think is fantastic and (unfortunately) not the case on every show/movie.Interesting dissection on livejournal.
