Shameless writers!
Dear Shameless makers:
I love your TV show! I don't follow many TV
programs but I don't miss one episode of Shameless. I would like to
however make a comment about the end of episode 3 where you have a brief
scene of the character Steve in Brazil. I am a Brazilian woman and I am
very proud of my beautiful country and it's beautiful and warm
Brazilian people. I very much resent the fact that you showed Steve
getting a blowjob by a Brazilian woman with Rio's backdrop. That is a
stupid and demeaning way of depicting a country and it's values. It's
very disappointing that your writers would chose to stereotype my
country in such poor way. Brazil, the land of easy and slutty women.
Really guys? By the way, your backdrop could not look more fake. That
whole scene is just a disaster. Remember, you live in a GLOBAL community
now. You should be more careful on how you portrait people's cultures
and countries. They could be watching you!
I agree. What is mostly upsetting is the fact that the writing of this show is quite clever, but then they come and do something idiotic like stereotyping Brazil that way! That is so old school. Nowadays people should know better not do make this kind of statement. My wife is Brazilian and she is appalled. SHAME on Showtime!
ReplyDeleteIgnorant, prejudiced people writing TV shows are always a big problem.
