Whose Stories Are They?
Friday, February 8th, 2008How often have you wondered why there are so few shows that deal with stories of minorities? People in positions like us (or even close to us)? Or why the few Indians seem to be such cardboard cutouts? Or why you’re shocked when you see a brown character at all, let alone a desi who is an interesting person?
I can answer this: because the vast, vast majority of Hollywood writers are… bet you didn’t see this one coming… tabla roll, please…
…That’s the biggest Hollywood cliché of all.
