Reply to comment by SQUID_FUCKER in 'Tulsa King' Premiere Review: Stallone Rules All in Taylor Sheridan's New Show by CorporateSympathizer

I am fine with most of the dumb stuff in the show as it’s clearly not meant to be taken too seriously but the black driver stereotype was the one thing that really annoyed me. When he meekly pulls up to the motel and was like “the white man wouldn’t sell me the car, please defend my honor” - like cmon.

Yeah, I didn't catch that at the time but in retrospect it is a little ridiculous. It's also just another ham-fisted way of letting the audience know, 'Hey, he's a gangster but he's one of the good guys! Look at him defend the honor of this black guy!'

In reality, let's not kid ourselves, Dwight would probably be racist as fuck.
