question for those in the know....is the weed smoking black physicist guy actually in the books?

the first episode has a scene where the following are sitting at a table hanging out:

female asian physicist
female hispanic physicist
indian military lieutenant/captain boyfriend
black weed smoking physicist
2 white male physicists

they got all the races covered and they're all close friends...just like you see in our 'real world' i'm sure.

someone please tell me dumb and dumber have not ruined this amazing story with f*cking DEI. why do this

I read the first book. They were all mostly all Chinese in the book, so yes, they have diversified the cast by adding some white people (among others).

If you want the book accurate Chinese cast with complicated Chinese names, you can watch the 30-episode Chinese version on Amazon.

They're all Chinese in the book. So even the white people shouldn't be there if you're wanting accurate. So knowing that, of the diversity hires, does the black guy, Indian guy, or the two white people bother you the most?

I will never trust Dumb and Dumber and haven't seen it yet so I can't speak to the quality yet, but if you haven't read the books, how do you know it's an amazing story? It's kind of hard to know it's an amazing story that is ruined by having a black and Indian guy in it if you haven't read it right? I'm just going to assume having the two white people didn't bother you. For all you know, you could hate the books, they definitely aren't for everybody. They weren't for me. The show might not be for you as well.

Why are you so sensitive about “alleged” DEI?
