Real Page

Any body think this should be a real page?—Catalyst · Talk · HL 21:17, 5 May 2009 (EDT)

• No, not really. Sexism and racism are not major themes of the show, like fate or the binding core of irony; they are personality issues, and we don't make seperate pages for every occurence of somebody being, say, sarcastic or narcissistic. —Crazyaspie 02:42, 6 May 2009 (EDT)
• But, it can be a major theme since it shows what the heroes think of other heroes that are of different race/belief which could have different outcomes in the story —Tyr Aires 08:30, 8 May 2009 (EDT)
  • It actually hasn't moved the story at all and isn't common enough to be a recurring theme. —Crazyaspie 00:57, 16 May 2009 (EDT)
    • I think it should be moved to main space.— Yoshi | Talk | Contributions 19:00, 23 December 2009 (EST)

Additions

You may wanna add Jesscia's "Nobody wants to hire a black ex-con" from 1x19. — Tristan0709 talk 02:35, 6 May 2009 (EDT)

not to mention when Ando said that all "they" look the same, referring to white people. —Crazyaspie 02:42, 6 May 2009 (EDT)

Doesnt Sylar say something about mohinder being Indian when he killed Dale Smither ? Gabriel Bishop 02:43, 6 May 2009 (EDT)

Wouldn't West's superiority complex over unevolved humans and Danko's loathing of specials count? Or would that be "specism"? —Crazyaspie 02:49, 6 May 2009 (EDT)

Prevalence

I wouldn't necessarily say that racism is no longer common. Sadly, various forms racism seem to be a widely held belief in many areas of the world.—PJDEP - Need further explanation? 17:39, 11 January 2010 (EST)
