What I find interesting is that these articles complacently refer to marginalisation of women and ethnic minorities on TV only in the past tense, as if it didn't persist to this day. But what can be expected from someone capable of uttering this drivel: "And most people who have studied the matter will tell you that The Feminine Mystique was, in fact, the start of the women’s movement." Yeah, that's right, he thinks there was no women's movement before 1963... Apparently First Wave Feminism never penetrated his consciousness, and I strongly suspect he's never actually spoken to anyone who has studied the history of the women's movement.
HiFranc:
Sorry about that, I should have caught the errors.
Is it cold in here?:
The QC movie, if literally adapted from the comic, would feature an almost all-white cast, exclusively so in the case of the major characters, and only one woman in a professional job, who rarely appears. The male characters are relatively normal, but three of the women are in therapy. The African-American character works a low-paying service job and creepily pursues one of the white wimmen.
In reality Jeph is an enlightened and humane person who is not working to keep minorities down, but it would be all too easy to take offense at the QC cast.

Granting the "rarely appears" part, I count at least three: Hanners' mother, Dr. Corine, and Sven's lawyer. How many men in QC work "professional jobs"? And how often do they appear? Jeph just isn't interested in writing about lawyers, doctors etc.
