Comment on Grey's Anatomy: What's with all the whiteys?

That is an excellent point, and one that hasn't occurred much to me, despite the fact that, y'know, I see a lot of doctors and have noticed a fair number of Indians.

But I know very few Indian actors, it's also worth mentioning. I should tell the guy in my class that once the studios wake up to this fact he's going to be in high demand.
I should mention that on this season of "Alias" the recurring role of the staff doctor for APO (the super-secret-special-ops division of the CIA that Sydney & Co. work for) is cast as an Indian.
Speaking of racist television, did you see The Onion article "Study: Reality TV; Reality Unfair to Black" http://theonion.com/news/index.php?issue=4110&n=1

Ahh.. The Onion. Where would our race analysis be without you?

That was especially funny for being soooooo true, about both reality and reality tv.
Interesting. Also strange that there are no Indians in my medical school class. Lots of Lebanese, but no Indians.

Does it really matter.
don't mean to be too argumentative or anything, but your "headline" asks "What's with all the whiteys?" even though your problem isn't so much that it's all white, but, rather, that it just doesn't have enough Indians. But I guess "Where are all the Patels?" doesn't make as good a draw, now, does it? I really hope you aren't infering that Blacks on the show are somehow "over-represented"... because that would make you guilty of the same racial negligence you're accusing all of Hollywood of doing. (and don't get me started on the stereotyping of Hollywood, as if such a place even exists anymore -- it's just a crappy street in L.A. with too many sex shops -- that's definitely not a metaphor)
It's a valid point, but the main reason I wrote the headline as such is because it's just funnier that way.
true.
I watched this show the other night and kind of enjoyed it. I think I mostly enjoyed being able to say, "That would never happen" or "suck it up" or "typical doctor". I have some dislike for doctors in general though, and sometimes enjoy watching them get really upset - even if it is on a television com/drama.
I watched it again! What is wrong with me? Oh yeah! Still on vacation and able to watch anything after 8:00. Enjoyed the Scrubs last night too. That show is getting even more out there - love it. I'm also starting to watch The Office. It is a crack up. Last night the "Boss" said he had a surprise for the staff. I thought to myself "couldn't be as lame as the ice cream sandwhiches we were given as a surprise at our staff meeting". Well, 10 minutes later in the show the guy shows up in the office with ice cream sandwiches. I laughed out loud.
Yes, I'm very happy to see that "The Office" is a really good show. I was worried about it a lot, but last week and the week before were hilarious. I completely missed Scrubs (I was fifteen minutes into "The Amazing Race" before I remembered it was on).

And I can't believe you got ice cream sandwiches. I figured that was so ridiculous no one would ever actually do it.
No kidding. I was saying to myself that there is no way that any office could be as sad as a school when it comes to surprises or lack of surprises. We are lucky if we get some over brewed coffee at a meeting. The chairs we sit in are from the 70's, the tables squeak because they are the left overs. The only bit of modernness we have won't work half the time - a projector for a boring ass power point presentation on testing statistics. Thank God for the excitement of a flippen ice cream sandwich - which also reminds me of the Arrested D when the Dad in prison says "I'm having a love affair with this ice cream sandwich". I guess ice cream sandwiches are comedy, who knew?
You admit you haven't even seen the show, yet you feel you know enough about it to write an article? Good job researching, really. The show definitely does not centre around sex (which you would realise, if you had SEEN it) but is simply a medical drama about the live of interns.

And as for the casting, it is not racist in the least. There are also no Australians, New Zealanders, French etc. It is an American TV show.. Just because a small cast does not include someone from an Indian background, doesn't mean it is racist.
Jessie,

Well, at the time I posted this entry back on March 10th 2005, "Grey's Anatomy" hadn't premiered yet, so I'll admit that it was an uninformed opinion, but not from willful negligence on my part. The larger issue isn't so much with the lack of Indian doctor's on "Grey's Anatomy", but the lack of them on television in general. The American medical profession has a very large number of Indian doctors, surprisingly out of proportion to the general population. Hollywood, of course, isn't under any obligation to reflect this precisely, but it bothers the hell out of me when they have no problem casting Indians as convenience store clerks and cab drivers but won't extend the same treatment towards a more "positive" stereotype.

As for "Grey's Anatomy" in general, now that it's in its second season: while I don't watch it (I've seen like half an episode at one point) I certainly don't harbor any ill will towards the show -- from what I've heard, it's pretty good.
