The Smurfs and Doug have been changed to wrong answers and are now worth 18 points.

But were the people UNDER THE MAKEUP non-white

They are the cast, not the characters

That being said, even without the ITK, it is still not a non-white majority. It should be wrong.

No way are Sylvia or Ramon Prado main characters. If you want to count them, then I raise you an Astor and Cody.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

Based on my extremely scientific "those don't sound like white people names" test, Dexter seems like 4-3 in favor of non-white.

6 of the 10 characters that have appeared in at least half the show's episodes are white. If you limit it to characters that have appeared in every episode, 3 out of 5 are white.

Prado, his wife and brother were recurring characters in a season where doakes was gone

You convienently forget the ITK and the crazy brit girlfiend, who were just as 'in-passing' characters

By count, it is 7 whites - 6 non whites. If you start adding in questionable "main" characters, you add in more whites than non-whites. Either way, it is not a majority non-white.
