So we were watching Battlestar Galactica and it's that one with the refinery and there's Apollo, some chick and an asian guy doing an attack run and I think to myself, "Oh ho, the token ethnic guy is totally gonna get it because he's ethnic".  And like the very next second a laser bolt or whatever shoots right through his canopy and shoots him through the heart.

American studios still have this tiny blind spot regarding the ethnics.

Yes.

Also, I am not a regular watcher, so I did not know "Chuckles" from Adam(a). nobody seemed to metion him for the rest of the episode though, they were all "Hooray we won!"

"Hooray we won!"

See examples of this in such things as VE Day. It's a natural and very human reaction.

Yeah, but you'd expect something during the wind-down at least, especially if he was Starbuck's rookie. Given the massive amount of screentime devoted to how much she wished she was out there.
