Tina Fey's Weird Obsession with Racial Humor

[TMC]

Have you noticed how often Tina Fey brings up race in her work? It's kind of awkward.

The cliffs are:

• Tina uses racial humor, mainly humor that has to do with black folks.
  
  Her humor isn't always satire or a parody.
  
  Her humor with black and Asian people mainly revolves around "this is funny because he/she is black" without thinking about the context.
  
  T1J appreciates how her shows and movies regularly employs black people both in front of the camera and behind the scenes.
  
  T1J thinks that her humor comes from her growing up in a "multicultural" neighborhood so she feels comfortable making jokes about race.
  
  He likes that the black people on the show aren't walking stereotypes but wishes they were given meatier roles.
  
  He quotes Lindsay Ellis by saying "thing isn't bad. Thing exists" which means that her humor isn't good or bad. It's just there. It's not groundbreaking or unique nor does it reinforce negative stereotypes. It's just there.
