Positive Discrimination is no longer a trope


* MagicalNegro: Louis can be seen as this type of character. His entire story arc is about Charlie [[spoiler:and in the end it's revealed that he is either responsible or has played a role in every good thing that happened in Charlie's life]]. Because of Louis, Charlie was saved from drowning as a child, got the idea to [[spoiler:use the berries for a new line of shampoo]] and met Jessie [[spoiler:who he later married]]. Even the misfortune [[spoiler:ended up saving their lives and got Charlie's draconian, mobster stepfather and step-brother convicted]]. The only subversion is that Louis is not an example of PositiveDiscrimination.
