Ummm...POC and women can't be myopic about race and gender? Since when?

The reason that Lena and her show got so much criticism is that Lena was quoted several times referring to the show as "the voice of my generation" during the publicity tour for Season 1. Nobody from How I Met your Mother or any other show with an all-White cast has said something so silly. THAT is what got her in

I have eyes, have read her book, and follow her on Twitter so I certainly have not forgotten that she's Indian-American!

Yes, I am aware that she listened to the criticism of the lily-White nature of the show the first season and has diversified the guest stars since then.

I actually really like the show but it's rather myopic about race and gender. The first season her entire writer's room was White and male except for her and one White woman. There are no other female main characters except for her and there wasn't another POC as a series regular until late last season bowing to

I've hung out enough times in Williamsburg and Bushwick to know what it's all about, haha. I love seeing young women running shit and non-modelesque women on the cover of fashion mags looking FEIRCE (to quote Tyra).

She looks gorgeous!! I am LOVING her cat-eye make-up and that haircut!

Skeletons? Right...because if you don't find a woman attractive she's not fully human. Got it.

She's a grown woman who enjoys sex. Why isn't that an ok thing to sing about? I don't get it.

Her husband and father of her child is in the freakin' video! So now having sex within marriage is taboo??! Or just enjoying sex as a woman, even if it's with your own hubby? Me confused.

I can't "win" an argument with someone so incoherent. We both "lose" because it's a waste of time. You are babbling because you have no leg to stand on. It's pointless for all involved.

That was rude.

You keep moving the goalposts because even you know at this point that your "argument" carries no weight.

I've read three long-form articles and have seen two TV exposes on the financial shenanigans of Countrywide Mortgage Company whose victims were disproportionately minorities whose homes were defaulted on because of Countrywide's fraudulent and unethical practices.

I disagree. There are think peices about what we deem to be "extraordinary" crimes. Bernie Madoff 's Ponzi scheme. Raj Gupta of Goldman Sach's insider trading scheme. Ariel Castro's kidnappings. Mothers who drown their children. There were a TON of think peices about the DC snipers and the Boston Marathon bombers and

I'm just a bit confused. If, we as a society, are going to talk about mass school killings that that means that, statistically speaking, we'll be discussing White males. That's just what the data bears out. Based on the data we know that most "school shooters" are White and male. If we are going to try to prevent

The profile of non-terrorism linked mass murderers is statistically White and male in the US. Hence the emphasis on White male perpetrators. The only non-White male mass murderers in this country that I can remember are the DC snipers. And of course terrorist acts like 9-11 and the Boston Marathon bombing. And I

Lots of Indians who Americans think are funny? You named two. It's a stereotype that Asian people as a whole are smart and bookish, and not funny. Same way that if you are Black you better know how to play some ball and dance or folks look at you funny.

That works for you and that's great. I do not like my BF to attend strip clubs and I have made that clear. He respects my wishes. I have a good male friend at work who used to refer to me as his "work wife" in front of co-workers and my BF at after-work happy hours and events. That made my BF uncomfortable and he

It's Shakira's choice to go along with it. According to her interview she finds her BF's possessiveness sexy.
