140: What's the point of the show? That all physicists are nerdy [majority white] guys with a plethora of social complexes?

Wow, really? I'm sorry if you have issues with the fact that they are socially awkward. Last I checked they didn't say all physicists were like that, in fact they've had characters who are physicists and "normal". But I can't be offended at their idiosyncrasies when I've been friends with people who act exactly like them, Hell I AM someone who acts like they do.

I'm glad you found characters you can identify with.

As a female student of physics, I felt quite marginalised by the episodes I saw (and not just because the only female regular is also the only non-physicist/engineer regular, and also the only regular who isn't allowed to be 'quirky' or weird).

Just FYI, Sara Gilbert also plays a physicist more like the guys who shows up semi-regularly. Not saying you're wrong in your impression, but in case you wanted to know there's at least one girl who's on the other side. Not a total regular, though.

And, for the record, the point of the show is that, despite all their "social complexes" they're mostly happy with their lives. With the exception of Leonard in season one, they don't spend their lives trying to conform to some ideal of normalcy. Which is something it took 25 years for me to learn.

Only two of the core nerds are white, the other two are minorities (albeit Wolowitz is an engineer and not a physicist) and there have been several other minority physicist characters come and go on the show.

Either way, I'm sure the four central characters of the show are not intended to represent every physicist/engineer ever. They're four individuals who happen to work in science and also happen to be nerds with social problems. However, as someone else said, they have also showed scientists on the show who aren't nerds and don't have any problems socializing (Penny briefly dated one a few weeks ago).

I'd say you're the one generalizing, not the show.

How?

Seriously.
