Seth MacFarlane's New FOX Sitcom Full of 'Disparaging Portrayals of White Men'...

[Ubiquitous]

By Noel Sheppard


So much for that post-racial society we were promised if Barack Obama
became the first black president.

Seth MacFarlane has a new sitcom coming to Fox this fall apparently
filled with lots of racial jokes...all directed at white men, of course.

The cast and producers of Dads spoke at the Television Critics
Association's summer tour Thursday, and according to The Wrap, were
rather upfront about the show's content:

Stereotypes abound on "Dads," and come from the
old-school-in-a-bad-way, socially out-of-step dads. One mistakes
a woman of color for the maid. There's a joke likening a boxing
match to a game of "punch the Puerto Rican." A young Asian woman
dresses up as an anime character.

But in every case, the real target of the joke is the white
male making it. [...]

"Just to be fair, these are some pretty disparaging portrayals
of white men," joked star Seth Green.

Disparaging portrayals of white men.

Can you imagine any network airing a show full of disparaging portrayals
of black men? Or Hispanic men? Or Asian men?

Not likely.

Why?

Well, because that would be considered racist.

And how about disparaging portrayals of women?

Can't do that. That would be sexist.

But disparaging portrayals of white men?

Good, clean fun.

Welcome to Obama's America.
