The “Thanksgiving” episode in Master of None was critically acclaimed upon its release and understandably earned the show an Emmy for “Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series”. It is important to note that the actress who plays Denise in this episode, Lena Waithe, wrote the episode herself. The inclusion of a black lesbian women in the creative space and writing on her own experience and storyline makes the show a breakout text. When women are able to produce their own unique experiences in media, it allows for a comprehensive look into the lives of real people.

Have you ever noticed the recurring stereotypes of black women that is portrayed on reality television? Everyday you can look on television and tune into any network and see the madness that goes on. Whether it be Love and Hip Hop, Bad Girls Club, or The Real Housewives of Atlanta, you  can see the exaggerated confrontations and animated expressions given off by these women. Media stereotypes of the angry black women have become more persuasive in recent years than ever before. If we as a whole stop these television networks from promoting dangerous stigmas on black women, we can increase the amount of positive representation of women of color drastically in television, advertising, and social media.

Every show needs someone to cheer on and hoping that eventually things will work out, and Meredith Grey is this show’s someone. Then there’s Christina Yang, the ambitious and competitive Asian. She is made out to be the cold, stubborn, career driven character, but Rhimes said that there’s more to her as the show progresses. Another example is Isobel Stevens, who’s the pretty blonde that no one takes seriously. She constantly has to prove herself and has to deal with her past of being model.

I knew that I couldn’t build a solid argument on Liz being oppressed as she is a woman who Jack admits he “pays less,” because she’s also thriving in a Manhattan apartment; and there is absolutely no validity in the argument that Tracy Jordan, the show’s token black comedian, is racially targeted. But, after binge watching a few episodes, it came to me - behind the actors, writers, producers, directors, and big money executives,
