Your favourite TV show is racist challenge.

I came up with a little challenge.
Try and find a TV show that hasn't been accused of racism on any website easily found by google.
All you have to do is type the TV show name into google followed by the word racist, see if anything comes up.
I think I found one with no accusations, and it took me around 5 tries. After trying around 15 other tv shows which were all accused of racism I then found another one.
Let's say if someone can find three in a row with no accusations they win the challenge. It's a challenge that relies a bit on honesty.
I'll go into detail about which ones I found with no racist accusations and my other attempts later.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Everybody and everything gets accused of racism these days. It's also mostly white people calling other white people racist. It's so overused that it sadly has become totally meaningless for something to be called racist. I think we would be better off having the word racist meaning something of substance. I think it needs to invoke imagines of hoods and burning crosses and hitler. Instead it's meaning has been expanded to the point that every tv is considered racist. The meaning has become so broad that it mostly invokes eyerolls. Even Islam will call people 'racist' for opposing a religion.

I tried a few shows - The Honeymooners, Blackish (hella funny, by the way) and The Cosby Show and of course "racism" came up too.
I also got over 92,000,000 Google hits on the word "racism". So with a little mathematics and statistical thinking, one might surmise that any topic at all could be "connected" to racism on Google. Go on, try it.
Race is always a hot topic and people never tire of talking about it, it seems.

Well the two I managed to find were Sister Sister, and Moesha. I couldn't easily find even a slight accusation of racism from these shows.
The only thing that came up in relation to these shows and racism is one person saying white people didn't like Moesha probably because she was too ethnic and not rich enough (Which is weird because I thought her family was rich) and one of the cast of sister sister was a victim of racism.

This is really why I'm starting to hate these liberal buzzwords
"Racist" "Homophobic" "Islamophobic" ... "bigot"
They're just fashionable words of absolutely no substance on their own, you can throw at someone to shut them up because nobody wants to be called them.
There's no real argument there. Instead, explain to someone how and why what they said wasn't correct or should be re-considered, that goes further than the name-calling.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Could be.
At the very least, he's a dismissive fuckwit.

Ok, I was just commenting in jest and didn't mean to troll, but that escalated quickly...
