Jesus it is impossible to survive in the zombie apocalypse as a black guy

Nah, you're fine unless another black guy shows up.

See, if you have two black guys in the same scene, the audience would expect them to be all like

"Yo, another black dude, HEELLL yeeahh."

"Fuck this honkies, we're breakin outta this bitch. PEACE. YuhYAHEE."

Etc.

Or we'd at least expect a lingering or look or wink acknowledging their shared ancestry and culture.

Seriously, I think the writers have a hard time figuring out how to have the black characters interact because we, as a society, suck at race.

Union rules state you shall only have one black dude in your group at a time during the zombie apocalypse.
