Is Heroes Racist?

Yes. The more i watch the show, the more i realize that more and more character's are written with racial stereotypes in mind.  I dont know if it is a mistake, but i think it's pretty obvious.  Don't get me wrong, i love the show, but just take a look:

1. Knox - The Black Guy
This one is the most obvious.  The guy gets stronger the more people are scared of him.  And  by "people" i mean white people.  I wonder how he found out he had this ability?  Also, Ali Larter's character Niki Sanders had super human strength, but she didn't need people to be "scared" of her to be strong!  

2. Suresh - The Indian

Wow, no way, the Indian guy is the scientist?  Perfect!  I mean i guess he could be working in a call center in India, but besides that, pretty stereotypical

3. Maya/Her Brother - The Mexicans
They're poor, from some small town where they don't have a car, and they end up using a coyote to get across the border.  Also take into account that the first time we meet them, they are at a stereotypical wedding, with pinatas.

4.Claire - The Blond

Pretty obvious here.  Blond, pretty, cheerleader, popular....typical

5. Hiro - Geeky Asian
Into comics, doesn't speak english well, is into honor and avenging his dad's death. He get's a samurai sword as a weapon, and even makes Star Trek quotes in multiple episodes.

Here's some additional one from lesser characters
1. D.L
Another black guy........oh yea, he escaped from jail, he's an ex con.

2.Monica
The young black girl, living in the ghetto, trying to get ahead in life, works at a fast food joint.

3. Jesse
Hispanic guy.  Of course he's a gangster, with gang tattoo's all over his body.


Can you think of more?

The Painter

There is a guy who sits outside my place, and paints this huge like 12'x12' tarp every day. He paints the whole thing one color. Every inch of it. He stands back and stares at the thing for a few seconds, and then continues to paint it again. Everyday, a different color.

I have no idea what the crap he is doing, but im really interested. The only thing is, i don't want to ask him cause i feel like the reason he's doing it won't meet my expectations. Is he insane? Does he see secret messages? i don't know

Probably one of the worst movies i have ever seen

Babel. I cant even being to explain. Any conversation about Babel should start with

"Hey do you like getting punched in the groin?
You do?
Well the you gotta see Babel. you'll love it"

Pretty much take the premise of Snatch, that a lot of peoples lives are intertwined, and remove all the jokes, good acting, accents,  storyline, soundtrack, and enjoyability and you have Babel.

All im saying is, i would rather watch the Hills

The Hardest Thing

The hardest thing for a man to do is sneeze while pissing with a boner. There is no way to keep that shit from going all over the place

Words

I realize that even after graduating from High School and College successfully, there are still words that i cant spell at all. I will start to write emails, need to use the word in question, and then re-write a sentence so i can avoid using that word. Is that strange? I know some other people must do it as well. Some of the words are

1. Definetly
2. Beggining

and there are many more i cant think of at this exact moment...do you have any?

Valet

Last night i went to dinner with my cousins, and since everywhere you go in Brentwood, you need to valet your car, i obliged before walking into California Pizza Kitchen.

On our way out, the Valet indicated my keys were in the ignition, and to have a nice day. When i got to my car, they werent there. After a few minutes of getting the run around, i realized NOBODY had them. They had lost my keys. The valet, whose soul job in like is to not lose your keys, couldnt find them.

It turned out that one of the valets working earlier in the night had put them in his pocket. It took him an hour to drive back to the Valet from whatever run down slum that he lived in. I was pissed.

My Altima is too nice to valet anymore. I guess i can't really blame a guy for wanting to get a piece of it
