I think her romantic politics and insecurities are evident even in The Office. She has said in interviews before that the show character and her do share romantic preferences.

Now I'm not saying this to be like, "See! It's a pattern. You're all wrong!",

It's just that people don't realize that this critique of her writing isn't just being pulled out of thin air, even if you disagree with it.

Also, I'm concerned because colorism among South Asians makes black people look downright well adjusted and I think Kaling might be, if not exacerbating the problem, at least perpetuating it.

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts..." -The Bard
