Bishop As You've Never Seen Him Before



I hadn't envisioned Bishop for his new co-starring role as anything other than the E.T.-looking alien he is, which is no particular race, but it suddenly struck me that instead of coming up with yet another shade of pale I could delve into some more interesting hues (after I gave him proper ears).

He could be black, he could be India-Indian, he could be from Trinidad, he could be from anywhere. It doesn't matter. I just like that he's not white and that his race has absolutely nothing to do with his character or role.

There needs to be more of that in the media: roles that transcend race, no matter how unostentatious they may be. In fact, the more unostentatious, the better.
