    It seems like television writers run out of jokes so they go for an easy joke to fall back on. So that’s why they always create a character to aim at. Rather that be; the dumb brother or the goofy dad, it’s always easy to take a shot at them. However there is an issue when it comes to race in these television sitcoms we see today.

It is like the writers purposely make it so that all immigrant women are hot headed, loud, dumb bimbos. I agree they can be loud however for them to purposely make fun of her is wrong.
