Race & Gender PC - All-encompassing in today's novels & films - Out of countless examples: "Panic," Nick Stephenson - Soon introduces all-knowing muscleman fencing-master Black bodyguard. --tma

          As predictable as night follows day, several pages into 'Panic,' we come to the amazing crime solver, FBI consultant, home life. Inherited wealth, he owns an entire floor of a penthouse overlooking Central Park, and has regular fencing workouts with his all- wise muscleman champion-level fencing bodyguard--who just happens to be Black.

     We can speculate why these things are almost at the beginning every novel. Are these writers simply status-seeking liberals who are 'virtue signaling' to other liberals that they too are soaring above the common herd of racist redneck White people? Or, if novelists, are they signaling the film industry that they are one of the good guys, ready to sign a lucrative Hollywood contract as tail-wagging allies and propagandists to our Open-borders Overlords? Or, in our current 'anti-racist' McCarthy Era, do they want to provide an insurance policy, inoculating themselves against any charges of racism? Maybe saying, 'If I were a racist, why would I have such wonderful Afro-Americans featured in my novels?!' Or is there some other explanation or some combination of the above?

      Of course there may well be some Black hyper-muscular bodyguard fencing masters who are continuous fonts of wisdom to their crime-fighting-wiz FBI consultants, but they are sure to be pretty darn rare. So why is it in the arts, the media, education and elsewhere do we constantly have these exceptions recast as the norm and relentlessly drummed into our heads?
