Don't forget the lead actress telling Trevor Noah that one of the main 
points of the show is to "make white people cry". After that, you just 
knew this was gonna be a winner.

And when this crashes and burns, when no one watches it, they'll all 
start blaming the fans for being "-phobes" and "-ists". Its failure 
won't be because they made a garbage show. It'll be because they made a 
piece of transcendental art and the fans are just too stupid and bigoted 
to appreciate it.
