Great comment, Kayleetara. I think, yes, some episodes of 'Bonanza' are probably a bit too conservative as well. The show's writers seem to be experimenting with themes of multiculturalism, then the pendulum swings back and they do more traditional western type stories. Landon seems to find a good balance by the time he works on 'Little House.' In that series, we have Moses Gunn and Ketty Lester in recurring roles, showing that minority characters can continue to be part of the community in various episodes. And Nellie's husband Percival is Jewish and a great deal is made about that, especially as it relates to Mrs. Oleson's prejudices.
