Two Words: Fuck Modern Family

okay that was three words but Modern Family is one show so theoretically that could slide. Right?

Anyway I watched Modern Family and I was appalled by the racism that I was seeing on that show. Now I should say that part of this is my fault I should have known that

• a televisions show about diversity [gender wise mostly] would stick to white nuclear family bullshit 
• that the gay couple would be bad for every reason. 
• and that when the show had mild racism towards Asian and Hispanic characters that it would get less mild and that it would spread to racism towards Black people and Native Americans. I really should have expected it seeing as the gay couple has an Asian daughter, meaning they should avoid racism and there is a Hispanic woman married to an older white man and they [both characters and the show at large] should give her more respect 

I didnt. I let small things slide and now the show really just destroyed both me and my day.

The episode or rather the section of the episode that I'm highlighting is where the gay couple: Mitchell and Cameron where trying to get their daughter, who is asian, into a private pre-school school. They hear from a black woman somewhere that it would be easy for them to get into the school because schools need diversity and they are "like three minorities in one." Fast forward past passing up a great opportunity at one school and going to another because they thing their gayness will get them in. Then they see a interracial lesbian couple wiht an African child [also one of the women in couple is in a wheel chair. So Cameron decides randomly in the middle of the interview to talk in a sterotypical native american dialect because then they would be interacial.

Where to begin [Cracks Knuckles]:
 I've hated them for a while because of how they are written because

• symbolically Mitchell is the boy and Cameron is the girl
• The avertised kiss they had was down played we only see the kiss in the back ground of a straight couple kissing

Now There is this assumption that black people are trying to steal options from white people because there are SO MANY options as though there is some black privilege out there. I hear this a lot. IT'S NOT TRUE.

Gay men aren't allowed to call women bitches [they said that once in this episode]
White gay men aren't allowed be be racists. Especially since when I say gay men we assume that they are white so yeah... the deep interlocking mind fuck that is white privileged.

Sorry.

I let the talking in "ghetto" talk or "black talk" or most often"black girl speak" slide,  it happens alot ..hell it happened in this episode I let is slide but Native American -ness I don't because there will never be a Native American person on the show EVER so yeah at least when there is "ghetto talk" there is a black person making some money [even if they are also being exploited and mocked].

 So I'm never watching Modern Family

but I will be watching Cougar Town and The Middle the down played comedies on ABC. They are a gold mind of both humor and good writing and they don't get anything respect, good advertisement, or praise because this bullshit is getting all of the Emmys so yeaaaaaaaaaaahhhh
