TV Shows Where Minority Characters Only Existed to Die First

This post-apocalyptic show often features characters of color who join the main group, only to die in dangerous fights with zombies. While characters like T-Dog and Oscar were helpful, they didn’t receive the same detailed backstories as the show’s original white characters.

This has led to a feeling that characters of color are often temporary within the show’s dangerous world.

Actors Who Debated Co-Stars’ Politics Behind the Scenes

I’ve always admired Jon Voight, not just for his incredible acting, but also for his courage to speak his mind. He’s become a real voice for conservative principles, especially as he’s gotten older.

It can’t be easy being a conservative in Hollywood, where most people think differently, but he stands firm in his beliefs while still being a total professional. He’s a true standout.

Movies That Race-Bent Historical Figures and Ignited History Buffs

This historical epic features John Wayne playing Genghis Khan, the famous Mongol leader, in a story set in the 12th century.

It continues to be studied today for its choices in casting and how it represented different cultures.
