racist?

did anyone find the last gilmore episode to be a bit racist? suki's husband goes to the babysitters to pick up thier kid and he rants and raves about their asking him to take off his shoes when he enters their house (they're japanese). okay, yeah, i kno that not all cultures don't do this, and most asian ones do. but that doesn't make it right or wrong; that doesn't even make it weird. anyway. he goes on and on about how 'crazy' it is that they make him do this and how his feet smell and how he wears boots so that others don't smell his feet... dude. so the problem here isn't that their culture is crazy, it's that you have poor hygiene. and that's no excuse to be racist.

after the show they had this little blurb thing from the aerie girls (wat's the point of this segement anyway?). as i recall there were three caucasion girls and one girl who was very possibly asian. two of the white girls said some stuff about the show and then they panned to the asian girl talking. and then they basically mute her out. you can hear her still talking (altho you can't hear wat she's saying) and the camera goes back individually to each of the three white girls thought bubbling about the couples on the show (loralie and chris? loralie and luke?...) okay, so i kno that the asian was rambling but you could've edited it down. you didn't have to make it so that it appears that her opinions are unimportant. and them muting her emphasizes her ramble. which makes her seem weird or crazy, again wit the unimportance. the studio people need to be more careful about these things because she's the token asian in the group. so you probably shouldn't be censoring her.

and grey's antomy. why is that minorities are wit minorities and whites are with whites? all the african american actors (besides burke) are in relationships wit people of their own color. and christina, the token asian, is wit a black buy. i'm glad tho that they brought in a latino actor: dr. callie torres. but she's wit, like, the pathetic underdog of the show, george, who's still basically in love wit meredith. and as badly as you want to feel for her, dating a guy who can't fully commit, you can't feel bad for her because she's crazy. she lives in the hospital, takes her off her clothes all the time, says 'i love you' too soon, and forces herself of george. (the crazy latino ladydoesn't deserve the white guy) and yes meredith did once sleep wit an indian guy, but she kind of broke his penis. ...is that a sly poke at how asian men can't handle white women because they don't have the sexual powess?  and yeah, african american dr. weber did sleep wit meredith's mom, who's white. but they didn't end up together. she left her husband and now has alzheimers. he just got divorced. is this their 'punishment' for crossing racial lines? and burke, as you recall, now has a bum hand.

also did you ever notice this asian women thing? we are stereotypically portrayed as demure and subserviant. so to get away from this, they've done a 180 and now we're all bitches. high strung, over-acheiving, type a bitches. lucy liu's character on ally mcbeal? christina on grey's? wtf is this? stereotyping is still stereotyping.
