Jamal Tucker Must Die

Do I know myself? Well, yeah. I mean, I’d recognize myself if I saw me in a line up.
– That’s just me talking to myself
I think I know why the minority always dies in movies. It’s not hidden or overt racism on anybody’s part. It’s not a coincidence, either. Instead, it’s a combination of two interacting forces and one failure of imagination.
- Force #1: There are multiple characters and it’s more believable to have some diversity in the characters. Hence, the creation of a minority character.
- Force #2: Someone has to die to show how serious of a movie this is. Hence, bye to the minority.
- Failure of Imagination: The writer/director/producer is not a minority. As he’s not a minority, he finds it hard to identify with the minority character. Thus, the minority character is not only not going to be a main character, but he’ll be the first to go if someone has to be killed off.
I’m glad I could clear that up for people.
