“Girls” racism backlash
This post is a little off topic, but let’s address Girls and the show’s apparent “lack of diversity.” Before poor lil’ Lena Dunham could even counter with a second episode, media folk have (more articulately) expressed:
BAH! Why is every major character WHITE? That black guy in the end is poor and scary! And that Asian is wearing nerd glasses and is really good a Photoshop! RABBLE RABBLE!!
It’s like they’re saying, “Homegirl, we don’t care that you’ve somehow written/directed/starred in your own widely acclaimed HBO show at the age of 25. You racist.”
