An essay on pro-cop propaganda, how Brooklyn 99 intersects with it as compared to white-centric cop shows, and how this creates a higher standard requirement for diverse shows than homogeneous ones.
Also: how performative allies benefit from condemning B99 while remaining silent on true inequality in (every) other cop show.
“The higher standard that BIPOC media and people are held to as compared to white media and people creates an issue where the existence of diversity in a show exposes the show as a target to "not enough" diversity from performative allies.”
