The negative tweeters mostly complained that she show emphasizes race too much and brought up a few too many black stereotypes – like grape juice and fried chicken.
Public opinions aside, the show’s creators are the first to say that Black-ish is just as much about money and class as it is about race.
“Class is as much an issue, probably even more so now in some ways, for families that have arrived, as you will, no matter what the culture is,” executive producer Larry Wilmore said at the show’s Summer TCA panel.
“[It] can be a more profound discussion than race and culture in some ways. When you talk about black privilege, that isn’t something that people are always accustomed to seeing, especially in comedy.”
