And what are you going to do about it? Do you want to set some kind of regulations for hollywood so they have to have proportional number of villinas/good guys/saviours/whatever? No matter what, people like you will complain, if there was no black character in the show, y'all would cry that the show is "racist" because there are not enough black guys to make it a bit more "authentic" (I guess argument would be that lots of black people would survive either on Earth or in the space in case of nuclear war). In this case, we have black people and yet you complain that they are either "bad guys" (which is a matter of OPINION, especially in the show like this, for me, neither Pike nor Jaha are villians) or do not get enough screen time. I bet if there were good black folks, some people would say that they do it only because they try to avoid criticism.

And even if the show was racist or make some kind of stereotype on purpose, so what? Would I just think that all black men are criminals/drug dealers based on some fictional TV show? People need to make up their own minds, stand for their own opinion, stop blaming entertainers for some kind of "downfall", an entertainer is not suppossed to parent children or act as a perfect role model, neither any product of entertainment, unless it is made on the purpose of education (like documentaries, history movies, etc.). For example, I love racist jokes (even if they are aimed at me in case of my nation), sometimes I watch or even pay for entertainment that might be framed as a bit racist (like this show in your opinion), I came from quite conservative family, and some of my friends are racist (to lesser or bigger extent), but I was never racist myself and always seen and treated other people according to how they treat me, not according to their race. People are just too soft these days, we do not need to define what is racist when it comes to entertainment, people just need to use their own brain.
