|

|

|
Jan 11th 2015 | 5
|
| yep |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 38
|
| she looked like an idiot last night at the Golden Globes tho... |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 41
|
| ^^^^ I actually watched it too |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 81
|
| I think the direction he wants for the show would be more problematic... |
|
Jan 11th 2015 | 3
|
| i'd be cool with that. but i watched the last episode |
|
Jan 11th 2015 | 6
|
 i think she said |

| You seem to be equating "regular" with whiteness... |
|
Jan 11th 2015 | 7
|
| No. Regular does not have to equal white... |
|
Jan 11th 2015 | 10
|
| But aren't there obvious considerations of the race of her BFs? |
|
Jan 11th 2015 | 13
|
| I don't watch the show either (does anyone? lol) so I can't comment on i... |
|
Jan 11th 2015 | 15
|
| kinda feel like you're stuck on whiteness being "regular" |
|
Jan 11th 2015 | 21
|
| Yeah, and its extremely naive, myopic. |
|
Jun 17th 2015 | 102
|
| ur still equating regular with whiteness and it seems u don't even |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 26
|
| He really is. Sadly he's not alone |
|
Jan 13th 2015 | 91
|
| Yes this is an issue in real life.... |
|
Jan 13th 2015 | 94
|
| Is acknowledging the race " playing up the fact"? |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 27
|
| We need to stop using the term "non white" |
|
Jun 17th 2015 | 105
|
| good read. seems like balanced criticism. |
|
Jan 11th 2015 | 11
|
| she, and her show are trash. |

|
Jan 11th 2015 | 14
|
| nah |
|
Jan 11th 2015 | 16
|
| That's not the show she wants to write, and so what? |
|
Jan 11th 2015 | 17
|
| 1) why you so hype tho? |
|
Jan 11th 2015 | 18
|
| The point is that it doesn't matter who "calls her out" |
|
Jan 11th 2015 | 19
|
| I don't really understand your beef though |
|
Jan 11th 2015 | 20
|
| The beef is that it's personal finger-wagging bullshit disguised |
|
Jan 11th 2015 | 22
|
| And people criticized Tyler Perry for his color politics and sexism. |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 30
|
| Right? What's the issue here? |
|
Jun 17th 2015 | 101
|
| Yes, that's totally the fucking argument that I'm making. |
|
Jun 17th 2015 | 108
|
| we have to ignore ZooTown on these issues. |
|
Jun 17th 2015 | 109
|
| but there is almost no merit in what he's saying |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 25
|
| That's not what he said. |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 29
|
| i dont know how ppl can be so oblivious to that....nm |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 34

Jan 12th 2015 | 24
|
| YES! I stopped watching when it felt like Who's the Boss |
|
Jan 11th 2015 |
|
| ah... |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 44
|
| YES! I stopped watching when it felt like Who's the Boss |
|
Jan 11th 2015 | 23
|
| Right...but everyone came to that conclusion a long time ago. |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 28
|
| Is it fair tho? Maybe she just wants to make a silly television show |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 31
|
| I'm not disputing that, but I also don't think it absolves her of critic... |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 32
|
| yeah she really loves rom coms |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 33
|
| But I'm talking about Mindy Kaling the comedic writer. Not just this sho... |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 36
|
| but if youre talking about her as a writer |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 47
|
| methinks the reason all her guys are white is cuz she likes white guys |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 39
|
| Exactly. |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 43
|
| why is making a silly rom com tv show mutually exclusive |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 50
|
| This is where I am. I was hugely excited for the show because. |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 54
|
| Does she really have race and identity issues? |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 35
|
| Heh, good point. N/M |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 37

Jan 12th 2015 | 48

Jan 12th 2015 | 49

| You must have missed my edit. |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 51
|
| agreed. |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 52
|
| Right, but consider the other side of that pressure.... |

| I feel you on Django and Serial...but Marco Polo is some bullshit. |

Jan 12th 2015 | 66

| Naw, the easiest way to explain a closed culture is with an outsider. |

| meanwhile the show doesn't feature a single pretty white chick. |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 56
|
| Isn't her best friend with the daughter a skinny white chick? |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 57

| See, this is the thing, Lahiri is a fuckup. |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 59
|
| right. |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 62

| I would hazard to say dating nebbish white guys is part of the joke... |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 65
|
| maybe but i dunno. |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 67
|
| Emphasis on the word "hazard"... |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 69
|
| Well I'd never underestimate how clever she is. |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 68
|
| There were a few jokes like that... |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 71
|
| she doesn't have friends anymore |
|
Jan 12th 2015 | 60
|
| she's not regularly featured. |

| I always felt like Tina Fey treated black women horribly. |
|
Jan 13th 2015 | 95
|
| So I watched the latest episode since so many people mentioned it |
|
Jan 13th 2015 | 96

| Mindy Kaling turned out to not be as subversive as I was hoping |
|
Jun 26th 2015 | 111
|
| i don't know that i ever hung my hopes on that |
|
Jun 26th 2015 | 112
