Isn't it funny how shows like The Jeffersons, which spunoff from All In The Family (another groundbreaking show), were more "cynically" racist, though they were made 30 years ago?
If shows like those were made today, they'd never be on the air.
We're so much more politically correct now...but is that good or bad?
