But I have seen people complaining about this?

And I think the problem with Girls is that it claimed to be this hyper-progressive show, when in reality Lena Dunham cast Donald Glover as a conservative black dude so she can spit race theory at him. That's amazingly insulting.

Uhh, what? I mean, I can certainly see why a conservative black dude might make for good comedy fodder (subversion of expectations and all) but if the point is that she teaches HIM about race theory, ummmm ..

Just when I decided I wasn't going to actively hate on her anymore. :|

That's not what happened at all, wow
That whole episode was Lena Dunham trying to make a point about how racist a lot of otherwise well-meaning liberal 20-somethings are. Hannah is a character based almost completely off of Dunham herself and the whole show is basically her owning up to her own faults and displaying them honestly, and I feel like this episode was her admitting to her own racism (or at least to having been racist at some point to some extent, I think writing an episode like this proves some extent of self-awareness of one's own racism to the point where it's been addressed). Just... watch the episode before judging

As a whole I don't get the criticism that the main character should've been POC or whatever when the main four characters are all based on the creator herself and on HER OWN EXPERIENCES ... men get to do this shit all the time without people shitting all over them (the one thing that Girls reminds me the most of is probably Peter Bagge's unfortunately-named comic Hate which is like the same exact concept except with a male main character and it's set in the 90s)

Also, Glover's character was NOT the butt of any jokes and was portrayed as a pretty well-rounded, normal human being, a black man who just happened to be Republican, the whole point was that apparently Hannah could not wrap her mind around that fact because she had pigeonholed all black people into a single archetype, one that included "being a Democrat" when uh, everyone is an individual regardless of race. I felt it was a really well done episode, I'm just upset that Glover was only in one episode this season and wished he could've been in a few more episodes before their eventual breakup. But it might have been the actor's wish to only appear in one episode, I don't know.
