One. I didn't say you were stupid said the point was. Two. All characters die not just black people. It isn't some racist thing. Last time I checked Bobby, Ellen, Jo, Charlie, John, Ash, and Benny were not black. They are mostly side characters (some of those aren't) and it just so happens all black people haven't really been main characters. Now if a black person was a main character they would probably stick around, but there hasn't really been one. What I'm saying is the representation point is stupid because it seems like a specifically weird thing to be upset about. I saw a while back people were complaining there weren't enough black people in Game of Thrones. So...? I mean we have so many problems going on in the world and everybody is worried about one group of people being represented in a tv show. Now I'm not saying black people shouldn't be on Supernatural or be main characters, but it isn't like all black people have been villains or treated badly. Rufus was a great character and a fan favorite. I wish he was still around, but he suffered from the side character curse. He was expendable just like many characters I named above.

If a black main character is brought in it needs to be done right. So many shows are worried about being PC that they make terrible writing decisions to appease the PC generation. I'm worried that Supernatural would end up going down this route too. I say bring in as many black characters as you want, but do it right. Don't half ass it and give us a black character and have him be black for the sake of political correctness. Bring in a character that you think the audience will like or a character that will further the plot. Don't just throw in a character for the sake of being PC. So to state my opinion again. Nothing against you. I just think this belief that representation comes first is stupid.
