As the saying goes, if woke, liberal Hollywood didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all. And nowhere does their hypocrisy shine brighter than their treatment of white people versus, well, pretty much any other race that exists.
Case in point, Friday’s episode of Lopez vs. Lopez (https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/135335-lopez-vs-lopez/) on NBC in which main character George (George Lopez), a Latino, makes a dig against his daughter’s white boyfriend Quinten (Matt Shively) because of his race. When Quinten uses the same words to tease him back, he is shamed and filled with white guilt, even saying, “Nope. Can’t say that. Sorry.”
The show is all about George reconnecting with his estranged daughter Mayan (played by George Lopez’s real-life daughter Mayan Lopez) when his business fails and he is forced to move into Mayan’s and Quinten’s house. George shares a room and bunk bed with Mayan and Quinten’s son Chance (Brice Gonzalez).
In this premiere season, Quinten is often the butt of George’s jokes, simply because he’s white. George especially likes to joke that Quinten isn’t Chance’s real father because George hates that Chance has a white father instead of a Latino one. Quinten’s character is often dopey, spacey, clueless, but kindhearted and well-meaning, so he can apparently be forgiven for being white.
On Friday’s episode, “Lopez vs. Cheating,” Mayan finds herself attracted to a colleague at work, but when she swears she’d never cheat on Quinten, George warns her that cheating is in their blood. When she goes to a convention with the colleague, George has a conversation with Quinten in which he proclaims he “doesn’t wanna learn a new white guy,” should Mayan leave Quinten.
Quinten is touched by his racism instead of being offended, but when he replies that he, “doesn’t wanna learn a new Mexican,” he immediately apologizes upon seeing the look on George’s face, even though both statements were the same in nature.
