The Beandocks Cuco: There's a new sitcom on TV called "Black-ish." Some are asking why there isn't a show called "Whiteish." Eddie: There is. It's called "The History of American Television."
Wow, so many people are missing the message here.
The point is this – some whites have asked why there isn’t anything celebrating white history (White History Month, for example) or, as the strip suggest, a white-ish show. You don’t need anything like that. For every black television show that ever was, there were dozens of “white” television shows. But the need to distinguish that as white is moot because the truth is, american television (and history, and science, and academia, and..etc,) is primarily and predominately white.
No racism here. I’m not saying that it’s good or bad. It’s just what it is.
