They may have made this bad, unthoughtful decisions, but i don't think they ever intended for things to go this south and completely off the rails. I mean it's obvious that no one wants more the show to be the most successful possible and loved by the fans, and to create a very positive impact, than it's creator, writers, cast and entire crew do. This is the heart of the problem. JR has a job as a showrunner on a Network show. IT IS HIS JOB to think of these things. It is the Network's job to have oversight and make sure offensive and disturbing material against minorities is carefully measured.

Making bad, unthoughtful decisions is something I can forgive a high school student attempting to write their very first novel. It is not something I can excuse fully grown adults who have made it their career to be writers.
