Question re stereotypes:
Is it more palatable when its written/delivered by someone of that group. Ie: If this show was written by non Lebos/Turks/whatever and made fund of them, is that still ok?
I am currently watching the Family Law (which I find hilarious), which covers many cliches, including Chinese Australians, and growing up as a an awkward gay teenager. But it is effectively the memoirs of Ben Law, who did grow up as a Chinese Australian in a very white place (Brisbane) and is gay, as opposed to a white person poking fun at an Asian sterotype...
Does this make a difference?
