I can kind of agree with the first part, but I don't really understand the second part of your reasoning. Sure there are more whites in the general population, but why does that matter? As a minority, I want to be represented in film too. I don't care about statistics, I just want to see someone who looks like me on shows I like. Being Asian, it's even more sparse in terms of representation. I'm thankful for Glenn and hope he doesn't get killed off. Would be nice to have an Asian female character too, but probably stretching it there aha.

I don't really understand any sides of the racial representation debates. So many people argue like you do, just that you want to see 'yourself' in the show, and I get that. Many others argue it should be somewhat statistically accurate to the real world, and I can understand that, too.
But nobody agrees on anything when it comes to race and gender, so ?\_(ツ)_/?
And honestly I had omitted it when I edited - but I like how everyone jumped the gun on 'black male' and said nothing about Glenn literally being the only Asian on the show. Period. Much less how many Hispanics we've seen so far? Like, it's THE SOUTH. We have a lot of Hispanics, and a lot of eastern Europeans... and a lot of Hispanics! Where did they all go?! lol
BUT ANYWAY.
We better get a decent "replacement" for Beth soon. I don't know how I can go back to the show in February knowing one of my favorite characters - who hardly got any screen time to begin with lately - is suddenly gone.
I'm not over it. And I'm not over losing Hershel. It was like seeing my dad on TWD, lol. :c
I guess...I mean, the last thing I'll say about this is that, when minorities themselves are demanding to be represented in film, I think that says enough. (Especially an ACCURATE portrayal minus the annoying stereotypes). I don't think anyone else should speak on the behalf of minorities themselves; it doesn't make sense. Overall, it's just a complaint. I'm not going to hold it against the show because I'm not equally represented. But more diversity would be ideal.
I'm still mad about Beth. WHY?!

I don't think they tried to ignore you its just...NO ONE WOULD UNDERSTAND THEM :d

Because Kirkman needed someone to kill and people were starting to like Beth. :/

Lol. Okay, maybe not "no one," but it's true for me! I speak English and some rough bits of Polish and Russian, and that is IT. lol. As I said before, I wouldn't mind more diverse characters, but let's keep the show to one language, pls.
And don't say that about Beth. I'll be worried about Daryl and Michonne again. D:

Eh not really.......
The Govener was white and so was Garret, but Daryl (<3 ) and Rick are white and good guys. But I get your point....The priest guy is kind of shady?
I loved this show so much until beth died, she was literally a wonderful character and very unique and now it's just bleh without her i SOBBED when she died, i was shocked too i don't believe they did that. killed the show for me, the show needs her

I have to say, the very first episode freaked me out, because nobody really knew what to expect or what to think about the creep factor yet (and it was in a hospitol they're already creepy enough.) Once you kept seeing zombies you got used to it, save for a few 'unique' ones they throw in there. I think everyone in the show is more afriad of other groups than zombies right now. I'm going to try to get back into it, but it starting to loose its appellant to me now. I hope that they throw some new conflict in. -.-
the games are good as well

I must be one of few that didn't really care about Beth's death.
Sure, she was a central character with a growing development....
BUT SHE WAS SO USELESS AND BORING...
I mean she's literally the female version of Carl. If not, worse. She's useless, she cries a lot, she's a complete and utter burden on the rest of the group (well, was considering she's dead) and she was just so ordinary and boring.
I mean, look at Maggie. When she was first introduced she was pretty useless, but now she's a strong member of the group. Look at Carol, the same happened with her.
Beth was stupid, and that's what got her killed. Nothing more or less. She shouldn't have stabbed that cop with the pair of scissors. What did she hope to accomplish? Like literally, she stabbed the cop in the shoulder with a small pair of scissors. That's what got her killed.
i mean.. come on.

Haha, so true. Carl can use a gun, Beth couldn't even hold a gun. Her scissor action was seriously the dumbest action ive ever seen. But, I didn't thought she'd be that stupid so it was a shock when she died.
it was suicide imo

We should find the Daryl Fanclub. Is there such a thing? There should be

I see where your coming from. But I honestly think Carol is kind of stupid. One minute shes fine, over Ed or whatever his name was, and blowing stuff up. The next minute she wants to die and stuff.....I don't know. She needs to get her stuff together
