I think this is a 'lil' nitpicky.

I feel you.

See I heard about her youtube show, but I never watched/got into it so this is my first exposure to her brand of comedy. So for you, it might have been yawn-worthy but you have to understand there is a whole new audience (like myself) who are trying to get familiar with her. We kinda need that type of tone setting. It wasn't lost on me as you can see.

Right...it WAS a pilot and as far as they go, this was a good start imo.

I could see this point if it was pite wholks who were the main characters but this is her personal insight on being a bit 'odd' in the black community. And it's a comedy so there's going to be at least a smidge of caricature. Gotta give some room for creative license and relatability. Personally, I don't think the middle school kids were loud and ignorant. They were...middle schoolers, which are by nature a**holes. But I can see you point and hopefully the show develops to your liking.
