I don't know quite what it is about it. I think it might be the pacing of the scenes, but I just don't seem to be able to muster any interest in the story of the Latin American twins.

I find myself anxiously waiting for them to go off screen so that the other character's stories can come back on. Something about it just seems out of place in the overall scheme of things.

Multi-culturalism is central to the premise. It isn't white guys who are evolving, it is all of humanity. They've made that quite clear from the beginning.

You have some objection to having other than white people on a TV

I am not sure if you are replying to me or to rumi. If it was to me I would like to ask you what part of my post says that I have a problem with non whites on the show?

I do not know the new characters' names yet. The twins are Latin Americans, therefore I refer to them as 'The Latin American Twins'.

So I say that I am having trouble caring about the story line that involves the Latin American twins. In fact I go so far as to say that I think it might have something to do with the pacing of the scenes. (In giving it a little more thought I think it could also be the lighting. I tend to not like overly dark scenes and movies. Batman Begins was ruined for me because of the lighting schemes.)

This really isn't any different then if I had said that I don't care for the little sub-story of Claire's (what kind of car is it?). That would not be me saying that I have something against that particular kind of car being on tv.

I have grown very tired of the attitude being fostered in America right now that if you don't agree with and push all things minority to the forefront then you are a racist.

If the twins had been made by TPTB to be Canadian trying to sneak across into northern Washington, and I had said that I have trouble having much interest in the story line of the Canadian twins I doubt wholeheartedly that this thread would have taken this turn.

If you were in fact responding to rumi, then I appologize and please disregard everything I said.

Oh, and to respond to rumi in the same post. I did not ask anywhere, 'why Latin American Twins'. It is obvious that TPTB are trying to tie characters in the story in to current hot topics in the news. Claire's biology teacher bringing up stem cell research in response to her question is another good example.

But their (TPT choices are limited when it comes to sneaking into the US. Episodes of them in the cargo hold of a boat at sea aren't nearly as exciting as covertly crossing a border on foot. So that really limits them to coming through either Mexico or Canada. Story wise it just leaves them a lot more options to have them be Latin Americans sneaking in from the south.

That still doesn't mean that that particular arc interests me as much as what is going on with the characters from the first season. Which is what I said to begin with.

Both. Rumi seems to have an issue with non-white characters.

The attributions are quite clear. Learn how to read them before you get snotty.

Apparently they weren't as clear as you think they were. Especially if you claim to have been responding to both of us. This is why I prefaced everything I wrote by saying that I was unclear as to whom you were responding. It was in an attempt to make it known that my response was being formulated as if you were responding to me. I am not sure how that could be construed as 'being snotty'. But, you are entitled to your own opinions, and I am not here to try and sway them.

Just know that if this is the direction you are going to take the conversation that I will not continue it with you. I don't have time for flame wars, pissing matches, or name calling contests.

Ryan, just ignore this troll. He simply looks for reasons to cry racism.

Umm, he's not talking about having a problem with their nationality, he doesn't like their story. I imagine his feelings would be the same if the characters were white.
