The Black "Conservative" Character In "Girls"

Lena Dunham's character goes for "Something New" with Donald Glover
"Girls" is a totally overrated, piece-of-crap show but whatever. The show and its liberal creator, Lena Dunham, have been getting slammed for lily-white casting even though the show is supposedly set in New York City. Hence Donald Glover's drive-by character. From Salon, a liberal website: "Sandy’s hasty exit after a rhetorical trainwreck of a breakup might be temporary, but for now, we don’t know why this charming young man is who he is. He doesn’t seem to be a practicing social conservative, having spent almost all of his screentime cheerfully mid-coitus or somewhere on the way, and despite the protestations of Hannah’s roommate, Sandy doesn’t seem to care about gay rights one way or another. All we know is that he’s in law school, his parents weren’t conservative, he has Ayn Rand in his 'library,' and he thinks gun rights are complicated. (To be fair, this is more than we know of the black partygoers that materialized to listen sympathetically at Hannah’s housewarming in the first episode.)"

The article continues about the "Girls" episode: "Hannah lectures him on how life is harder for black men in America, then she wildly insists she has never noticed that he’s black. The claim that 'I don’t live in a world where there are divisions like that' may be last-ditch desperation, but felt generationally and socioculturally off-key; I would have believed it more if Hannah had claimed to know all about oppression as a woman from the Midwest. (She also pretends to not know who Missy Elliott is, right after quoting her.)  Sandy calls her out for being just like the other hipster white girls who dated him but 'can’t deal with who I am.' The biggest transgression here, he implies, isn’t actually racial; it’s political, or at least that he doesn’t fit a particular script."
