Excerpt: The Daily Show creates a strange dynamic for those of us who watch television through an anti-racist lens. They simultaneously lampoon racism while perpetuating it behind the scenes (and sometimes on camera), but one has to admit the make up of the Daily Show is a far cry from the inception of the show.
They also speak about the small number of women on the TDS writing staff and the conflagration of racism and sexism. Interesting read!
