It used to be that you had to make female TV characters perfect so no one would be offended by your portrayal of women.

My dads whole family is in Madras and I was born in America so we didnt have that big Indian community. I dont really have anything interesting to say about it. When I talk about it people are like, meh, lets talk about something else. – Mindy Kaling
