Have You Noticed . . .

Have you seen the TV shows and movies made recently that are dealing with the subject of terrorism? They're eerily realistic, no? No. At least not in who the villians are. I saw a promo the other day for the new NBC political thriller The E-Ring. A fleeting glimpse of a "bad guy" caught my eye. Were the top Pentagon officials chasing Average Ahmed the terrorist? Hardly. The terrorists were Asian! (I'm sure not North Korean - probably Chinese - less polarizing y'know) To be fair I haven't seen the show so there could be Middle Eastern terrorists, too; they should've used them in their promo, though.
So anyway I did some research. You'd be surprised at how rarely the terrorists of the movies match the terrorists of reality. From Neo-Nazis, to Serbian, to more Asians, the bad guys/girls are quite an eclectic group; but rarely match the level of reality the rest of the show/movie does. I don't believe that all Middle Easterners should be shown as terrorists, or that threats can't come from anywhere, but the politically correct folks do need to lighten up a bit. Come on; Neo-Nazis?
