Why are the creators of the show absolved of their personal responsibility regarding the impact of their actions? If a company poisons the local reservoir with their chemical run-off, are they morally able to say, &quot;Well, they shouldn&#x27;t have drank that water. They knew they lived near a chemical plant.&quot;<p>No, we trust fiction-based-on-reality to have a semblence of reality to it and to not be blatently racist. That&#x27;s a cultural evolution we&#x27;ve developed. We are criticizing a show for not being what it should be. That&#x27;s our responsibility as viewers, and we&#x27;re fulfilling it.
