Hey Brad:I looked at it more as human frailties rather than racism. I'm not saying there was no racism presented(that's life), just that a lot of it was fear based on narrow unempathic assumptions. Something most people are guilty of to varying degrees, as I am certain you know.For instance the Danza character: was his primary motivation racism, or keeping their shows characters consistent? Which could easily lead into a discussion on the evil power of TV stereotypes.Hope you are well. All ya!
