The depiction of ML is problematic but she's tolerable for an accomplished "cute" Brown chubby chick that so clearly covets the life of "pretty" White
thin girls. I know various non-white women like Lahiri & they're actually ok to be around on ocassion.

Mindy Kaling is kinda insufferable in interviews & soundbites (as are most writers tho, probably maybe??). She ducks criticism of how she portrays Black (women) characters on her show & seems willfully stupid (especially on intersectional questions/critiques). And b/c I'm petty, she went to Dartmouth which speaks for itself LoL.
