Just propels stereotypes and 'bad humor'..


When is the African American "community" going to protest this kind of stupid and sick-minded garbage once and for all..!!?

But in a way, it's not. It's a satire. Here you have a girl that talks in a non-stereotypical normal, sometimes valley girl voice and it depicts a woman of color as a three-dimensionAL character with an existent love life rather than just another background one-dimensionAL wing-woman guru of sisterly advice. If Lena Dunham can make a show about 20-something girl next door and their problems however superficial and out of touch they may be, then there should be a Loosely, Exactly Nicole for the left-out population of viewers that wish to watch a show that has a lead that resembles themselves.

Thank you! Nichols is nothing like American TV has never seen. She's a desirable plus size woman. She likes fun at black stereotypes in her commercial auditions. Not sure there is anything to protect. She's my hero.

@TheDanMan:


First of all, there is no one AA community. And no, we don't feel the need to protest everything on TV. I've never seen this show, and never even heard of it before ten minutes ago, when someone referred to it on another board. Also, every black person on TV does not represent black people in general. It's not even that serious---it's a sitcom. Silly sitcoms with white folks are on TV all the time and have been forever--I don't see you whining about them.

What? Aren't all black people of the same mind about everything? All the white people on TV are completely interchangeable. After all, Walter White is basically the same person as Joey on Friends. Why would black people be any different?
