Q2. As with any television program, no two characters were the same. While racial
representation is important in any television program, how each character is depicted is arguably
more important; therefore, we strived to find how each character was portrayed.

• In terms of “Good Guys” and “Bad Guys”:
o 100 percent of black or African-American characters were good

In reality, when looking at what could be most comparative to being a “Good Guy” or a “Bad
Guy”, as of 2016, fbi.gov states:

o 26.9 percent of arrests are black or African-American
o 18.4 percent are Hispanic or Latino
