Indeed it is. Just as we can critique a state or State but distinguish between the political body & its entire populace. Sadly, some on the interwebs make those distinctions clear and some don't care to, as lumping everyone together is easier. Some want simple answers to complex issues.

It's a shame that people in blue cities get written off or demeaned because they live in red states. That said, while I won't write off there are some red counties I'm leary about traveling though as a black man, some of which are in my own state. Some states have more of those areas than others.

I need to watch more. The premise is great but after one episode I was not digging the MC. I hope I'llvibe with her more as the show goes on.
