Recognizing that your minority characters are under-used is great and saying that they're valued is great, but leaving it there without taking action in the meta context is sending a pretty huge mixed signal.
I also do not care for Will's "no class" insult or Sue's transgender bashing. I try not to take anything Sue says seriously because it's she's such an obvious bad guy and caricature, but that crossed a line because the average viewer probably isn't going to read it as just another outlandishly ridiculous thing Sue says.

Date: 2009-10-20 03:05 am (UTC)My objection is not that the characters have not yet had their chance to shine and actually, I rather look forward to Artie's episode. And Tina's! Where I'm seeing the lack of walking-the-walk is that the main non-minority characters (baring Rachel, according the next week's trailers) seem to get at least a little something to advance their plot every week - often more - while the rest have to wait for their episodes.
Did that make sense?
