As a black woman, I didn’t really enjoy this episode either. I understand that discrimination happens to different kinds of people, but I really don’t need to see it in all of the shows I watch. It’s like the same formula nowadays when shows want to add a prejudice or racist aspect and it’s always making white people feel guilty for not understanding or doing enough. It just gets old and comes off way too heavy handed.

Might have been more interesting for the Councilwonan to have been a black man or woman.

Then they could have added more nuance and depth to the role by approaching the story from a different angle, instead of making her a lame typical caricature.
