tbh it's a moment where John synced up with Taupin's creative approach by not bothering to complete the song

I guess I doubt the script actually describes him racially, just "hot man", and casting people of non-specific race removes the potential contextual subtext of some specific-race choices. and mixed-race people probably struggle for casting in general so let's laud the opportunity... & write better.

mixed white-and-black, I think. I don't have a full grok of the trope but it's something happening. It means the character is going to be harmless, but also brainless

sitcoms portraying tall mixed-race men with lean muscularity, buzzcuts and facial hair as this inherently irresistible neighbour, that's objectifying and shallow and tedious, the extent of its specific iteration almost feels like a racial comment. shows a lapse in writing regarding women's interests

I guess I've always wished that "racist" etc wasn't taken so personally. It's just an adjective, there to describe, probably accurately
