Message: <blockquote data-quote="stevew" data-source="post: 290464" data-attributes="member: 130">I meant they made Bobby out to be a bad guy, a horrible husband, an over indulgent father, a terrible uncle, a horrible businessman, he even left a dressed Sue Ellen alone in a house with booze - I felt like he was based on Hamlet’s uncle.  Not a good guy.  Sorry I mean Bobby was Chris’s father so even if Bobby and Chris fought Bobby and Chris still have a strong relationship one where maybe Chris still wants his fathers love abs respect, but when you fight with an uncle like that, I’d assume the uncle would no longer get the same level of respect. Honestly if Jason had showed up and not his kids, no way JR treats him like the head of the family. So IMO they should have made John Ross more of a good guy and allied with Bobby and Chris more ruthless and at odds with Bobby.I’m not saying a quota, I’m saying an effort to diversify your cast and your story. Race is a part of people’s lives even if they ignore it. I have no problem with a writer adding such to the story, including that of Dallas. The idea should be how do I appeal to as many people globally as possible. Bigger market could get a bigger audience and then a bigger budget. That’s not filling a quota that’s just being smart about your potential audience. So in that regard I agreed with CC except instead of focusing on the help I’d have made other characters Hispanic, and certainly would have used Carlos more - one of JR’s friends to mentor his son let’s say.</blockquote>
