50. 2 Broke Girls
Perhaps one of the laziest sitcoms on television right now, 2 Broke Girls fuels itself on stereotypes. The most blatantly racist move?
The short, asexual Asian workaholic who manages the restaurant the titular characters work at. In one episode, Kat Dennings' character even utters the line, "You can't tell an Asian he made a mistake. He'll go in back and throw himself on a sword." And don't even get us started on the rape jokes.
41. Friends
Little known line from the first draft of the Friends theme song:
"Your job's a joke, you're broke, but you're white so it's okaaaaay!" Hmmmm... Six friends living in NYC, and not one of them is black? Sure, it's possible, but they could've easily thrown a black person in the mix and kept it from being all-white-everything.
Holly Robinson Peete felt so strongly about the lack of color that she called for a boycott of the show at one point in 2003.
40. Glee
On the surface, a show with a cast as diverse as Glee's couldn't be racist.
Until you realize that the black and Asian dudes are practically mute and the black girl is fat and sassy and the Asian kids go to geek-filled Asian camp and make jokes about dating each other 'cause they're Asian. If shows have characters of color who rarely speak and make wink-wink race jokes when they do, that's a fail. Go sing about that ****, ****ers.
39. Sex and the City
Sure, Sex and The City didn't have a minority in any major role in its six-year run, but we know tons of
cranky old white hoes in Manhattan that don't have any friends of color. No, SATC makes the cut for the 2000 episode entitled "No Ifs, Ands, or Butts" where the easy-in-easy-out Samantha character started dating a black guy. You're right, Sam, saying things like "I'd like to get me some of that!" isn't "black talk", but it's not "sex talk", either, it's just wack talk.
34. The Simpsons
Since The Simpsons has hundreds of characters, some of them are gonna be racist. Including, but not limited to:
Groundskeeper Willie (angry Scotsman), Bumblebee Man (clumsy Hispanic), Dr. Hibert (all black doctors gotta sound like Cliff Huxtable?), Krusty (self-loathing Jewish comedian), Cooki Kwan (are all Asians this competitive?), Luigi (is his brother's name Mario?), Fat Tony (all Italians are mobsters, huh?), and Cletus (white people have feelings too!). But none of them top Apu Nahasapeemathisis****ingracistpetilon. Like come on, the guy works 72-hour shifts at the Kwik-E-Mart. Dude, we know plenty of lazy-ass Indians.
32. American Idol
Yeah, black people have won three out of nine American Idol seasons, but the obnoxious karaoke-fest isn't exempt from covert 'cism. For one, William Hung is the show's most famous Asian participant. When your viewers are the type of people who damn near riot when Ruben Studdard beat out Clay Aiken, such a limited scope of other cultures is a little dangerous. Not cool, dawg. Word to Randy Jackson.
25. The Hills
If the Amazon jungle should be preserved for its fecund mystery and millions of types of potentially live-saving flora and fauna, The Hills,
a widely celebrated cultural phenomenon with insights into the turbulent, heady, be-sequined world of full-retard, rich white chicks (plus their douchehole male cohorts) is basically the opposite of that. In every way possible. Birthing such cultural shitstains as "Spencer Pratt" and Heidi's augmented "horror ****," The Hills, and all its glittery arguments against white people having sex with other white people, is just ****ing racist. Against humans.
20. South Park
We say this at the risk of getting trashed by South Park fanboys, but, in addition to being sidesplittingly funny at times, SP is also defintely racist.
For starters, two of the black characters are walking sterotypes. Chef is obviously the smooth black dude who ****s all the white girls and Token's name is Token. The clip above is from an episode where the n-word is used 42 times and while some call it bringing light to the negative connotation of the word, we think it's more like two white guys trying to get away with some sly ****.
5. Family Guy
Family Guy has never shied away from pushing the limits as to what's tasteful comedy and what's not.
They've long been under fire for being racist, thanks to Stewie making jokes about black people, Peter throwing the term "Angry Black Guy" around, and the infamous "Black-U-Weather Forecast." Is Peter's testicle chin a way of ridiculing fat, ignorant white people too or just telling non-whites they can get deez? Hung jury.
1. Fox News
"Fair and Balanced," indeed. Fair-skinned and perfectly balanced:
They hate everybody. From Neil Cavuto's "minorities caused the financial crisis" to Glenn Beck's "Obama hates white people," this stillbirth of a media creation falls into the "anti-human racism" category. Screw y'all, and we mean that sincerely. Except possibly you, Shepard Smith. You seem OK sometimes.
