I feel I need to defend this show

First I'll start by saying, I'm a middle aged professional white woman and I grew up in "the hood". I LOVE THIS SHOW. The writers are taking every ridiculous sterotype of what it's like in a hood high school and throwing all of them at you. They point out how preposterous they really are. They're giving you every crazy misconception and it funny as hell. Still to this day when I tell people where I grew up I get side way looks and questions about how rough that must have been. I love that the writers are saying here, this is what you think its like, do you see how silly this is? I totally get it and await every episode. Give it a chance.
