What J.J.'s boss said - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In the episode, "I Had a Dream", when JJ dreams he is white, his boss, Sorrell Booke (rest his soul), flat out tells JJ the person he hires for the art director position will most likely not be a black. Isn't that discrimination? Doesn't seem that he was called on it if it was.

I did mention this on another thread. Yes, it is wrong, in every way, legal too, for him to have said that. It's bad enough for the man to have even thought it, but to have said it???? OMG

anyone seem to notice that in all the eps dealing with "black" "white" issues, such as jobs (like when Flo got the job instead of James) the people blatantly say out loud what or why they are making those choices....

At least they didn't lie about it, I would rather hear the truth then a lie.

Your original post said it was. I am glad you found his remark discriminatory. It was strange seeing Sorrell playing somebody besides Boss Hoog.

read my post again, I said it's wrong in every way, legal too (meaning that it's wrong LEGALLY also). Sorry if you didn't understand the post but that's what I put. It is wrong in every way, shape and form.

I thought you were saying it is wrong and legal too. Kind of like bilking old folks, it's wrong, but as long as it is done a certain way, it can be completely legal.
