    I'm going to dispense with the usual criticism of Andrew (i.e. he's too nice on the podcast in comparison to his blog) and just say that there were a few assumptions made by Patrick Walsh that are highly questionable. He said at one point that, about the show about call centres, the audience were essentially to blame for any stereotyping because they were racist - I don't buy that, it's a convenient way to get the writers, the producers and essentially the company off the hook by blaming people who can't argue back. By the same token, Walsh was very careful to counter any criticism of 2 Broke Girls by arguing that he's either constrained by the nature of the institution he works for or that he works with all these people of colour who seem to agree with all the creative decisions the show's making so that if Andrew says anything about it he's just being unfair.

    I don't have trouble seeing race as one of competing forces at work, but it ties in with Chris Brown being, on the whole, a very profitable economic asset for the recording industry, and if they want him to keep making money for them they'll pay their public relations apparatus to make sure that's still a viable option. On top of that, Chris Brown probably has his own people making sure his image doesn't suffer too much.
