[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love that this show is tackling racial issues. Randall picking a pool that he knows more black people go to because even at 8 years-old he understands that he's different and wants to be around people that look like him. I'm glad that the mother put her ego aside and asked for help from the black woman. [/quote]

I was getting nervous about how the show would handle the Snow White scenes. I was nervous it would be 'eventful.' And it all made sense at the end, when he said how it was so uneventful for his daughter. Because that was their goal. To raise them, in some ways, to not see anything there. That's awesome! But he knows there's still something there, in the way the older generation was reacting. It's an interesting generational-racial discussion. And three generations reacting to events all differently (the way Randall and William reacted differently to the security guard).

I just was glad they handled it 'inside' the head. It means more to me that way. Because so much of racial stuff that happens is in the head. It's REAL but it isn't lived-out as much as it's thought about. I'm not summarizing all racial tension here, just the kind you see in a rich suburb / less action, more talk. [/quote]

And the speech in the pants store, ending with "now try on the flat panel pleated kacki's I think they'll look nice on you." I love him. I just love this show. [/quote]
