Um, you're kind of just complaining about who Mindy Kaling is. She's an American acting like a dumb American girl.

But I can see the white guy complaint, as that's also what her writing staff seems to be full of.

I could not get into the series because it just seemed to be a series full of Mindy being really into herself, which worked on the Office when I thought it was just her character, but now I feel like that's just her coming through.

It's just not a good comedy, she's not acting white though, she's being herself.

Yeah, that's kinda offensive to mixed race people and interracial couples. It's not like we're over-represented in the media... Or at all.

Technically speaking they could have interracial couples without involving any white guys.

True - but that doesn't avoid the fact that interracial couples, as a whole, aren't shown very often so it's nice to see some form of it being featured in general.

Honestly though, when mixed couples are on tv it's not because television wants to represent more mixed couples, it's because they want more white people in television. If an established character is already a person of color, then if they go the mixed route they will definitely make the second half of that couple white.

So while it's great that Mindy is the star and we're getting mixed romance options, why is everyone she surrounded by white?

As anon above said, there are mixed couples that don't involve a white person.
