Yeah, like that

More than just nick-picking, these videos hurt people's actual ability to critique. The one above has "what's going on!?" as a sin, followed by "seriously, what's going on?!"

They appear so rarely I haven't even seen them in what I've seen of the show. Gloria's in every episode. What does that say about the show's priorities?

When I say "lazy, in a harmful way", you're right- I'm calling you out if you potentially like the show. Your entire criticism is trying to delegitimize me from doing that because it might implicate you if you do like the show. You seem to find the idea that I might judge someone for liking something to be…

So you admit literally a sentence after seeing that she's never portrayed as dumb that she's portrayed as dumb, and try and pass it off on her being female. Like the accent, cultural misunderstandings, and poor grasp of English never play into it. And I don't care about what was on any other show, we're talking about…

I don't like the character, and I'd be happy with her off the airwaves. I don't want to censor her. You've established a ridiculous dichotomy- either I want to censor the living shit out of the show, or I shut up and take it when its lazy in a harmful way. The fact that you think a complaint at how a show is written…

Citing Univision is part of that racism- why the hell does Vergara's Colombian character have anything to do with the images of a network dominated by Mexican, Cuban, and Puerto Rican Americans,…

Where did I say she had no right to be on television? Where did I say she had to be demure? I'm saying the show is written to have her be as broad of a hispanic caricature as possible, regardless of accuracy or implications in a way that's truly painful.

Vergara getting paid a lot to act out racial stereotypes doesn't make them not stereotypes, or painful as fuck to watch.

You *just* realized how racist Modern Family is? That Sofia Vegara's character is a walking caricature of hispanics of minstrel show level proportions never occurred to you? That Lily being asian being the butt of many, many jokes never fazed you? The fact that a show praised occasionally for its diversity has a…
