"There should be more racism on "The Walking Dead""
The conventional wisdom holds that, in the face of an existential crisis, humanity would put its petty differences aside and band together. It's a fairly common trope in alien invasion films, but I'm not sure that would hold true in the zombie apocalypse.
Maybe, it would be living vs dead in the early days, but by the time the dead rule the world and the living are fighting over the scraps, I have a hard time believing the old tribalism wouldn't be back and stronger than ever. The Walking Dead depicts humanity at its worse, but somehow that doesn't include racism? People are cannibalistic, raper and...colorblind? Nah, B. Not buying it.
there hasn't really been any racism that i can think of. growing up in Atlanta I know damn well it would be more racism going on. was there more racism in the graphic novel?

WD is doing just fine imo
that being said I dont think folks ould be into most of the degradation that a society seems to fall into whem civilization breaks down for a few days etc ala blackouts etc
but then again theres something to be said to incidents where the smallest of societal breakdowns brings forth the ugliness of man
I would think some supernatural bs like the dead rising would be something different, mking folks act more upright than the usual breakdown of morality etc
