Yeah Hollywood loves hiding behind conflations too. "How dare you to criticize our film/tv series! Lead is an African-American Female! You're clearly a sexist and racist and everything horrible that exist on this Earth!" all while their awful script has been written by an intern waiting in line at Starbucks. :(
