i thonk this whole deal is blown out of proportion as well. I am latino and white. race never even came acriss my mind at all when watching this. As far as relating to someone because of color iI find to be racist in itself. You should be able to relate with any race because we are all human. Did it occur to anyone that maybe there wasn't enough minority actors auditioning? Boyd also wasn't the first beta to die either. Erica I belive her name was ( who was white or some mix) was. Nor did they make Boyd your stereotypical thug/ gangsta either. I liked Boyd and was hoping he'd stay in the show and become more of a badass. I think Dr. Deaton is a very Vital Character in the show. He knows more than anyone in the show. The actor who plays him fits the chararcter well and I couldnt't see anyone else playing the role. Same goes for all the other characters, it's a very well rounded cast. As far as the magical negro crap, I guess a predominately black show always has its magical cracker who plays an uptight nerd.
