Quote:
As Lena Dunham acknowledged in her recent interview with NPR's Terry Gross, America's number one source for frank racial discussion, Dunham is well aware that Girls has a white people problem—and not just the glibly dismissive kind that sums up the show so you don't have to bother engaging with it, but the kind where it's been accused repeatedly of having way too many white people. Dunham told Gross that in her second season she definitely plans to get some non-white people in there, and judging by this set photo, she's already started by bringing in Donald Glover, whose ability to make talk of race seem really lighthearted and silly is well-established on Community. So, now that that's out of the way, we can move on to worrying about how weirded out we're going to be if Glover participates in one of the show's obligatory graphic sex scenes.

Glad this is filming now and won't interfere with Community.

Personally, I think it's really stupid that she feels she has to add a black actor just to stem a tide of criticism which really has nothing to do with the vision of the show and more with people's insane need to politicize everything. They added a black person, racism is over!

But, good for Glover getting work.

Did anyone else feel as dirty as I did seeing the boobs of the mom from "Freaks & Geeks"?

What is this show doing to me?!? Am I supposed to hate Adam or like him?

Tonight's was pretty meh. It kind of seems like she struggles writing her own character as realistically as the others.

Wait, that happens? ...don't know if want to watch it now. I'll be sure to have an sharp object in hand so I can stab myself in the eyes and blind myself after seeing it.

as much as I hate the stereotypes (New York unique girl, hot girl who never left home town, boring white parents)...it's made so obvious...it's weird.

Kind of a boring/weird episode. Needed more of the main cast.

think that's the point right? life outside of NY without the main cast is weird/boring.
