Subject: Ok I just found the quote and I honestly don't have an issue either way.
In reply to: Christian 's message, "Why did that Guy from Lost say it was RACISM that they decided to kill his character?" on 22:22:26 06/17/08 Tue

While I understand his POV, I just don't think the writers saw it the way he did. I have no less respect for him though.


TV Guide: Were you disappointed Michael and Walt didn't reconnect before your character died?
Perrineau: Listen, if I'm being really candid, there are all these questions about how they respond to black people on the show. Sayid gets to meet Nadia again, and Desmond and Penny hook up again, but a little black boy and his father hooking up, that wasn't interesting? Instead, Walt just winds up being another fatherless child. It plays into a really big, weird stereotype and, being a black person myself, that wasn't so interesting. [Responds Cuse: "We pride ourselves on having a very racially diverse cast. It's painful when any actor's storyline ends on the show. Harold is a fantastic actor whose presence added enormously to Lost."]

I was typing so fast that I forgot to add the link or put where I read that from

I will agree with you though.
