Because it makes the general public think he is black? Though I know a white dude named Tyrone. Yeah that is disturbing. My point of the thing was don;t mess a Marine.
Lost in translation....
I got how YOU intended it. But yes, it's absolutely meant to invoke the image of a "black criminal" getting thomped on by Marines or they wouldn't have changed the name. I'm sure everyone can argue that they know a white Tyrone, but it's pretty obvious why the name was changed to Tyrone Jackson. Not lost in translation, just disturbed that racism had to ruin what would otherwise be a perfectly funny story AS-IS.
I agree with you there. I had no idea they did that. I never read the original.
