Questions in this interview: Is there a typecast or a specific role that black characters tend to fill in television? Can you think of examples? Do you notice a difference in the way black characters are dressed compared to their non-black co-stars, and what are some examples of those differences? How do you see clothes tying into the identity of a Black character? Do you feel that Black characters are portrayed in a more fully-fledged/rounded way? Do they have needs, goals, and aspirations, or do they exist primarily in the one-dimensional character archetype? Are the shows you're watching newer or older? Have you noticed a difference in the older episodes of shows compared to modern day/recent television, and if so please explain. Do you see similar archetypes/mannerisms/wardrobes/roles that Black characters tend to fill in television in non-black characters or no? If so, please explain.
