Re-watching Miracle Day (of course!) I'm not really warming to Rex.
But even if he's pushy/ aggressive/ annoying it's still good to see characters in the Dr Who family who aren't white. We had Mickey of course, and Toshiko. But Rex is a lead.

It's not anything to do with racism or political correctness, just that 85% of our population is Causcasion. Which means only 15% of prgrammes need to feature a non-white character to be representative.

Pfffft. Nice to have American sensibilities so not all black people on TV are rappers or athletes.
