Mindy Kaling is being called out again for using negative and self-deprecating stereotypes. This is not the South Asian representation any of us asked for. This time it's for her new show, Velma, which is now the third lowest rated television series on IMDB. The Scooby Doo reboot was supposed to be an inclusive spin-off with Velma being a bisexual South Asian team. But a lot of viewers are finding that the jokes about Velma's appearance are mean-spirited and harmful. I have a disease where I can't recognize people who aren't hot. Yet, others are saying that only criticizing Kaling for the show's stereotypes is misguided. They believe that the real issue is systemic since South Asian women are so underrepresented in television and film. And attacking one of the only prominent figures in the industry holds Kaling to an unfair standard. Kaling and HBO Max did not respond to our request for comment.
