As a woman of color and not raised in Western society, I find their racist humor very offensive. When the show started, I thought, fun show with witty humor and I liked the concept of it especially being in Grad school and also kinda nerdy myself. But some of the jokes are way over the top. I have a sense of humor and I appreciate a good laugh every now and then but their constant racist humor? Really? I don't get it. As much as people keep saying get over it, it's just a joke, it doesn't make it any less offensive. Other than that, the idea of a sitcom based around people who are not obsessed with fashion, being stick thin or pop culture is an A+ in my book. It's different, I like it. But they lost me with their third world and Asian jokes. Not cool!
