Writers should have done some homework

 In a recent episode of CBS’ FBI, a new character transferred from Atlanta to the NYC field office said this of her time in the Georgia capital: “It was too Southern.” The character is a black woman (or, Black woman, as is written in Modern Times). Strange that a (B)black woman should find “too Southern” a city that is majority (B)black. Or, perhaps Southern (B)blacks do not meet her level of ethnicity. Or, perhaps NYC TV writers suffer from the all too common malady of cranial-rectum inversion. Oh, well. As fast as NYC is falling apart, TV writers from Up North might have to move Down South. I hope not.
