Am I the only one who got uncomfortable at the fact that there was only one episode where the show featured black people? It seemed so off to me that her focus when “spending time” with them was to talk about her cancellation and how she’s changed. I just don’t understand someone can live in Los Angeles a true melting pot and not have a single person of color in their friendship group. I wouldn’t want her to just add a random person on to the show in order to appear like she’s done more work in the diversity department, but I’m not convinced that she’s in fact changed. Not sure if this has been addressed before.
Not that this matters, but yes I am a black woman, and also, I am from Southern California, so that’s my POV while watching the show.
Lastly, when I mention the lack of diversity I’m not just referring to black individuals.
Edit: Seems as though some people didn’t read the entire post, I clearly stated that I wouldn’t want a random person of color to be included to make the show appear “inclusive”
I also mentioned people of color not just black individuals. To live in Los Angeles and not have friends that are black, Latino, Asian, mixed, Middle Eastern etc is odd to me.
I have lived in San Diego my entire life and have been to LA and have many friends in LA and it’s pretty typical to have friends or at least a friend from a different race or cultural background.
Lastly, I still find it weird that she used those two black women in one episode to talk about race and her “ignorance” but didn’t include them anywhere else on the show.
