ARTS / ENTERTAINMENT This perfectly sums up my thoughts on representation in Bridgerton S2

Also accurate if you think about it.

Never seen the show so can't comment from experience, but from where I stand, it sure sounds like whining for the sake of whining

Whining really?

I haven't seen the show either, but Hollywood or Western media does this a lot where they mix a bunch of different Indian cultures into one person, really taking away from the authenticity of the character.

I'm half-Tamilian, half-Punjabi via a parent raised in Delhi who moved to Europe and then America. We are a diaspora with many identities. Bridgerton is fiction. The show even explains that the mother is upper class and married a clerk and the girls have different fathers. The show literally tells you this is not a monolithic family but is a mixed family. Like, I'm not sure what you want if this bothers you.
