The criticism of Mindy Kaling and questions about diversity on The Mindy Project have a familiar ring to Margaret Cho, according to a blog in YOMYOMF
Kaling, as you might have heard, recently lashed out with a series of F bombs after it was suggested she could do more for women and people of color with her show.
Twenty years ago, Margaret Cho faced similar criticism.
Cho (photo by Greg in Hollywood) headlined the first television show featuring an Asian American family, All-American Girl. She played a rebellious young Korean American who clashed with her traditional Korean family.
You can read about the barrage of criticism Cho faced and watch a fascinating video of her looking back at the show with co-star Amy Hill YOMYOMF.
