IT Crowd

Mindy Kaling, like Tina Fey and Mary Tyler Moore before her is us. Though she isn’t white and she works to make sure even the extras aren’t a sea of mayo rewriting American diversity. She fully embraces the problematic role the world has given her while fighting back against it as comically as possible. She has and will be compared to Lena Dunham with this project. They’re both women and the both don’t look like the tv stars we’ve grown accustomed too and they’re both writing and producing comedy shows and that’s enough of a similarity to place them next to one another and focus our microscope on their pores–never mind the fact that I don’t see anyone drawing broad and vaguely sexist comparisons between the work of Louis CK and Kevin James.
