Or maybe I don't need a TV show to tell me how to respect others?
To cook, now? That's a different story...need all the help I can get, there.

I have no idea. That is my guess, nothing more. If it's not, then I'm willing to stand corrected.
The premise holds no interest to me. I prefer gun battle, car chases, and pretty girls in my escapist movie watching. Just as watching "Birth of a Nation" isn't a film I'll ever watch, again. I mean the original film that Woodrow Wilson admired so greatly.

I'm not boycotting Netflix because of one show they made.
First off, they have all of my Star Trek.
Second, I honestly believe most people of my complexion (white as paper) are simply not aware of the inherent racism and bias that pervades American society as a whole. There is a natural white privilege in American, and it is ingrained in us from the beginning, and is part of what it means to be American. I don't believe that there should be a fight about it. I don't think that there should be an uproar about it. But I honestly believe that this is a disgustingly neglected conversation that the American people need and have needed to heal for decades.
That's just my thoughts.

If there is one thing Americans love more than feigning outrage, it's binge watching Netflix. This boycott will have very little steam and will likely draw new membership as a counter-protest.
You know, Netflix has a variety of programing. I wonder...do they also support mass murders, drug cartels, etc? As a white male from Texas, I applaud them for providing a variety of programing that appeals to everyone.

How about, if you don't want to watch it, don't?
I've got all sorts of things to watch on Netflix, so I've got more important things to do than to worry about than "faux outrage of the day".
Now there's a show I might watch...
"Faux Outrage"
