Cooking has always been a secondary to RB.
Isn't he originally a machine gunner/heavy weapons guy? |

I like what Renegades is doing though, nodding the hat to the ARAH days but changing things up as needed. I prefer Roadblock being a mechanic and a grunt who likes to cook (which makes more sense to me) than a cook with a machine gun...Maybe its because I love realism with my Joes. When I was on my ship the only time the cooks ever got to do anything else was during emergencys and everyone had a GQ billet/station. Wether you were on fire watch , a gun team, helo ops, or small boat ops.

roadblock being a mechanic makes more sense with his codename. i agree with original poster that racial stereotypes should be eliminated in JOE

*ahem* I think his MO is a mechanic if you go by the first episode thats what he was doing. If Lady Jaye had gone to the galley to give a cook his mission orders...Not saying he cant cook or doesnt cook as a hobby BUT. In a normal setting (not a fugitive on the run) at base and on an official mission for the state I think he would be included as a grunt not the cook. Shit just anyone can cook, if I was on the run with a group of guys id cook for them its one of those common sense things.
Im not questioning his cooking skills, at all, Im just saying Im glad they made him something more than that. |

Im referring to the present relying on past stereotypes instead of moving on with todays trends. To me personally making one of the few cool black characters on the show a cooking bitch was rude and backwards thinking. They played up GungHo's gumbo references enough that it was forgiveable though. Roadblock spent more time rhyming than throwing meals together it would seem.

Sometimes things seem like obvious stereotypes... but as you'll read below... it wasn't what WAS obvious that made him a chef... it was what WASN'T.
From Larry Hama: December 5 at 12:26pm He's not a cook, he's a chef. Somebody had to do the cooking, and he seemed the most unlikely. The race thing didn't enter into it. It seems more stereotypical to me that all the Asian characters are martial artists. _______________________________
