[QUOTE="Emelee, post: 220298, member: 73"] Preachy, no. But you can easily build drama around things without preaching. Without the characters learning lessons at the end of every episode. And I don't think you need a single black character in a particular scene to play racism issues. You can have 2 white characters clashing over it. Two characters that are quite different. Like Alexis and Krystle. One of them says something and the other will of course automatically explode at the other and suddenly we have drama. Why must characters always clash regarding a shared romantic interest or business? In real life, people often clash because they have different opinions about things that do not involve love relationships or the company they work for. The characters themselves don't need to come to any conclusion at the end of the episode, ergo it doesn't need to be preachy at all. Just two different opinions clashing that created some good drama for the viewers, but also makes them take a stand for one of the characters. It's what we do all the time anyway. [/QUOTE]
