True, and don’t follow her career as closely as some commenters, obviously, since I don’t know the name of her friend in real life. I probably phrased it wrong, but there is something off in the depiction of women in the show. That they were unable to write Mindy an interesting best friend, that the other women in the…

Yes, I remember when the friends got dropped from the show. It was weird when that happened, but you’re right, they weren’t interesting characters. But why are none of the women in her workplace on the show not written to be friends? Something is just weird and off in that aspect of the program.

I honestly think that those who are the most against AA are the most mediocre students. They seem very angry that they cannot coast into places of influence based mostly on their own privilege. How vexing for them? Decent candidates are not so threatened by competition.

I’ve said this for a long time, Mindy is not a liberal Democrat. She’s a conservative Republican who is embarrassed by that fact in Hollywood. She’s outright lied about it to garner support from places like Jezebel. But at least once an episode, there is some comment or moment that makes it clear what she actually…

That’s the best joke I’ve heard today, thanks.

i don’t even understand his logic. So his finally analysis is affirmative action doesnt really benefit the underprivileged? Is he saying that despite being part of an over represented ethnic group (Asian Indians) in medical school, coming from a middle class background where his mother is a physician, HE is truly the…

Most Indians can be quite self-loathing when it comes to race and complexion and more than willing to distance themselves from their ethnicity - often attributing to their “Aryan roots” and similar bullshit. As an Indian, it doesn’t surprise me that Mindy would be attracted to white men, given Euro-centric features…

“Men are just plain better...when it comes to appreciating the beauty of people of better races.” Errr...you lost me at “men” and I’m not sure I’m following you here. Please clarify. What is a “better race”? And are you trying to say that more men than women date OUTSIDE their race? I’m pretty sure that’s not what…

Co-signed. She seems like one of those people who was raised to believe that her ethnicity was the ‘model’ one. She said some problematic shit in her book and I was like, ‘we’re still making excuses for her when she’s literally SAYING that was her life?’

I thought Mindy’s book was funny, but it makes it pretty obvious that she prefers the company of white people and is kiiiiiind of a racist. Also, I think all her fans assume she’s a liberal because she’s a woman of color but, like her parents, she’s a conservative Republican. There’s a reason her boyfriend on TMP is a…

Also, his reasoning is complete and utter bullshit. California doesn’t allow for Affirmative Action policies in public employment, contracting, or schools, and hasn’t for about 20 years (see: Prop 209), so none of the public schools (every UC and CSU) are allowed to consider AA in admissions. So not only does UCLA not …

For the first half of season one she had two female friends and then they got dropped from the show. Im not sure what the decision was based on, but they weren't great characters so I can't say I think it hurt the show.

I also think her depiction of her brother on the show just got a LOT more interesting. A potentially talented nurse/doctor who disappointed the whole family by dropping out of college, stealing money, and lying in order to become a rapper and then later, a drug dealer? Wonder where THAT came from.

I don’t think there is any “conspiracy.”

“I don’t think she is comfortable with female friendship in real life” - you realize you don’t actually know her, right?

I hate that people are giving him publicity but at the same time, I think the discussion on affirmative action is an important one because so many people, including this shitfuck, misunderstand it. If AA is a disadvantage to Indian Americans, then why are there more Indian Americans in medical school than Black…

33 MCAT. Moderate B+ average as opposed to the preferred high B+, we’re not talking about getting in with a 2.0 or anything. Qualified, in other words. Meaning that even if he was telling the truth (and he’s not) he didn’t prove a thing.

I actually initially missed out on a spot in med school in New Zealand because of a Maori and Pacific islander admission scheme programme they had. So I was placed on the waiting list but got into a med school in Australia. I have no regrets about that because I understand the need to have Maori and Pacific Islanders…

Mindy is not her brother and should not be held accountable for his nonsense. HOWEVER. So many of y’all on Jezebel were so ready to excuse her all-white (and almost) all male writers’ room, the fact that all 7 million of her love interests on The Mindy Project were (and are) conventionally attractive White guys (Seth…

If you believe in affirmative action up until it affects you negatively, you don’t actually believe in affirmative action.
