这个故事做到了真正的diversity，而不是主演本人所担忧过的那种tokenism。包括故事发生地的选择（当然这点是和原著一致，但是如果再考虑一层新奥尔良的历史，又更加觉得这里就是非常适合讲述黑人吸血鬼的地方了），美国黑人经商的历史，爵士年代的氛围等等，都用心极了。
不过说起来，讲黑人吸血鬼的故事甚至都算不上是“政治正确”。其实美国第一个小说里的吸血鬼就是黑人，The Black Vampyre: A Legend of St. Domingo，作者叫Uriah Derick D’Arcy，比德古拉还早呢！当时算是浪漫主义文学中的吸血鬼题材在美洲的一种回响吧——比如我们这期节目和弗兰肯斯坦那期里都提到的拜伦“小跟班”波里杜利写的吸血鬼，你也许从标题已经看出，这也许能算一个波里杜利吸血鬼故事的同人小说（我还没看，但我看了些资料觉得可以鲁莽地下一个这样的判断！）。这样看来《夜访吸血鬼》甚至是让我们回溯源头呢！毕竟怪物的故事从来都和边缘经验相关。

不如把话听完再下判断？给你一段HuffPost的报道作为参考吧，来自本剧黑人主演Jacob Anderson自己最初的担忧：When characters are race-bent, it’s too often the case that it’s reductive and presents a false achievement of diversity — especially when it’s really just Black actors playing very obviously white characters with simplified, colorblind storytelling.
Even Jacob Anderson, the English actor who plays the title character in the series that premiered on AMC Sunday, had early misgivings about the adaptation.
“Like, sometimes you get roles that are set in a certain period and then consideration isn’t made to what the actual context was of that period,” Anderson told HuffPost. “I felt a little concerned about — is this essentially going to be tokenism?”
He went on: “Is this just going to be like, ′Well, we are making this show in 2022, so we just need to make sure we have some color represented in this show’?”
真正有种族平等意识大概是主动去了解和学习别的种族的历史，而不是只把ta们当作证明“我很平权”的工具而已。
