    let me just say that i usually don’t come across a tv show that i feel i need to tell others about. but i think i finally came across one.

    ramy.

    i don’t know if anyone here has had a chance to come across this yet. but i’m telling you you gotta watch this if you haven’t already.

    as strong as anything that louis ck has come out with.

    if you liked curb. if you liked peep show. you gotta watch this. but really i think it compares more to louis ck. there’s just this depth to it that most half hour sitcoms lack.

    it’s streaming on hulu right now. they just released the second season. i think it’s one of the more important half hour sitcoms to come out in awhile.

    you won’t regret it.

    it’s a mindfuck. but in a good way.

    it’s brought up many feelings i’ve had about myself and where i come from. being a second generation american. what it means to identify as an asian american. and how that has evolved as i’ve become older. and the misconceptions that come along with being lumped into a “group” that is so diverse within that sphere.

    but that applies to everyone really. not just muslims (which really spans across entire continents and cultures). not just arab americans. not just asian americans. not just second generation americans. but any “community”. right?

    also, it’s just fucking funny and irreverent.

    ====================

    When to lump,
    and when not to lump.

    Seems like the more you know about a ‘group’ the less you lump. Mostly.

    I always think of the example of ‘Christians’ because i know a lot of them. You have yer snake-handlers from Kentucky (who might be different from yer snake-handlers from WV). You have yer Commie-Liberation-Theologists in Central America.
    You have yer rightwing rural Southern Baptists. Episcopalians. White Nationalist Ku Klux Klan Christians. Haiti’s Christians with a mix of Voodoo. Christian Humanists. Jesuits. Christian Mystics. Etc, etc, etc.

    There’s no “Christians.”

    No “Muslims.”
