Microaggressions and How to Spot Them
Sarah4231 September 2022
This episode hit hard.

A lot of white viewers will find themselves challenged as a comedy routine goes racist. Yes, it's recognizably racist, but more categorized as microaggressions.

So the script does a marvelous job of showing a spectrum form outrage, to irritated, to "not that bad," to defense.

My guess is that the well-connected white boy's going to get away with a slap on the wrist, but at least we see inside an actual HR process rather than the eye roll many people receive all the time.

In sum, we have another great conversation starter, while the story still keeps on with the more traditional relationship building and plots. This makes sense, since it's all warp & woof of our life.

Appreciate the writers and cast so much for doing this, though. Everything is so well integrated, so well acted, so well shot.

Loving it.

We have a barn, let's put on a show.

Warning: Spoilers
Let me get this right. Ingrid's mentor is an older Asian woman. And there is a very junior Asian attorney who has Ingrid as her mentor. And none of the folks who bill at $1500 an hour have not spotted the racism?

Ingrid and Murphy have returned from Paris none the worse for wear. In fact, they don't even mention it. Just flying there and back is about 12 hours on Air Adler.

And the firm has an attorney who made it through an Ivy League school and a prestigious law school and he decides to do a racist comedy routine even though folks hire him and his firm for his rather nonexistent judgment?

Ingrid and Murphy kiss. I saw absolutely no chemistry between them and could not figure out Ingrid's motivation and square that with a partner track attorney who's got a boy friend.

The deal problem they are working on is that Min has operations in Syria and Iran which run afoul of federal law and imperil the acquisition. But we've already established that Min operates here, in New York. Do those laws not apply to Min but do apply to Lassiter?

Nick drives Ingrid to the bus in his Aston Martin. And like all New Yorkers he has no trouble finding a parking space on the street that has no meters. And then her suitcase evaporated.
