Haven't gotten around to watching Daredevil Season 2 yet, but that's disappointing as heck. This quote is a good one:

" I’m sure we’d all like to think of this as a completely separate phenomenon from the fiction we consume, but sadly the data and the way women of color are portrayed in media align pretty neatly. Black women are seen as less desirable in real life, so on screen we often get black female characters who are a strong black woman who don’t need no man . Asian women are often fetishized in real life, so on screen we see female characters who are the sexual dragon lady . These two character types rarely get their own fully realized romance plot-lines, because they’re often too busy kicking ass, taking names, and/or being the trusty, but strictly platonic, sidekicks of the white male protagonist.
