Thing is that counts speaking parts—I didn't notice it until recently, but SB pointed out to me that a huge chunk of the time the non-white female character will have bad things happen if she appears to be major.

It's not a hard and fast rule, but it's happened to often—yes, he's sometimes doing colourblind casting, but he does also seek to over-represent minorities, so this might contribute to the problem.

I'm pretty sure it's not in any way intended, but the first on screen death this time was Martha's friend in UNIT. I guess partially because he tries to present himself as being oh so very progressive, and critqued Primeval for being horribly white, etc it annoys me a bit that while it's not tokenism, it's still Bad Stuff.
