I can't believe you would use "Afro" as 'short-hand' for either 'black' or the only-slightly-longer 'african-american', especially since the pilot was obviously written recently enough to include the Bellaggio.<BR/><BR/>Its casually offensive. And while it certainly might not leap off the page to the target audience of likely-white network execs who would be reading it, its also the sort of easily-overlooked 'signifier' that makes black writers cringe and feel marinalized.

I quite liked that, too. They had a great character played by Billy Cardell, who threw himself in front of cars to collect pay-offs so he wouldn't go to the police. After that he was in Heist as well (another failed Cullen project). Funny guy. And in Veags in an episode written by (surprise, surprise) Marc Cullen.
