Essay Seven

Now Muslims are complaining about the portrayal of characters from their community in “24,” the Fox hit series. Fox has taken extraordinary actions to calm the storm, airing and even producing public service announcements.

Hell, the one show with enough guts to portray a Black Man as President of the United States still fumbles in the PC Bowl.

But to be honest, I’m more outraged that they killed off Aisha Tyler’s character. She’s hot.

To the unhappy Muslims, let me say, “Welcome to Primetime, Baby!”

If it’s any consolation, other minorities have lots more than y’all to gripe about regarding stereotypical and negative depictions.

Then again, we do have Univision and BET as sources of cultural pride.

Let's not forget UPN (Us People's Network)!

Also, you can still catch Aisha Tyler on CSI as one of the new forensic pathologists.
