beccaelizabethTheorised pattern in Doctor Who:
if there are any characters from minority groups, there will be enough of them that only half of them get killed.
But, being Who, will definitely be half of them.
That way, you can't predict who survives based solely on their demographics, but you can't call it racist or whatever because lookit, half of them live.
/theory
is a bit like that thing where films if they're going to write an evil black guy now have to have a good black guy around to make it clear its not that black=evil, or just that its not about race.
I'd go compare theory to evidence, but I'd have to download stuff.
