Regardless of their personal intentions, The Pitt has a pattern of reducing, minimizing, or altogether removing BIPOC women from their show, and that’s not only a disturbing habit, but a very destructive one.

In season three, of the cast we know will be there, four characters of color will be main on screen. Ellis, Santos, and I believe Al-Hashimi is slated to return.

Ellis is potentially a temporary character for this season. Al-Hashimi might leave after this season back to the VA. Besides those, our previous main character of Javadi will be featured in a reduced role, and we’ll have some of our nursing staff around as background BIPOC representation, assuming they’re all returning.

Their intention does not matter. Folks need to understand that. Realism doesn’t matter. What matters is the impact this is having.

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

you are allowed to have and share any feelings you have about this show, because policing what others have to say is never right or appropriate. yes, we should be valuing the expertise and knowledge of people who work in the medical field a lot. which funny enough is something that the anti-criticism crowd has so far not shown to be capable of whenever a healthcare worker has a critique. which makes it even more interesting that they bring up healthcare workers to prevent the show/casting choices/robby/nw from being critiqued lmao.

i'm getting off track here. you do not need a medical degree or anything of the sort to be able to critique this media; just because it's a relatively realistic show with medically accurate procedures, doesn't mean that it isn't still a tv show that is made by people in the entertainment industry. they get advised by medical professionals, but it's still a show with plot, characters, development and juicy storylines that the creators decide on. it's not a documentary, all of these choices were deliberately made. and those choices are not above criticism, especially when it comes to diversity and representation, which is very necessary in a show aiming to represent everyone in healthcare.
