Mindy Kaling: “I'm a f*cking Indian woman who has her own television show”
At SXSW, Kaling talked about the lack of diversity on network TV. “I look at shows on TV – and this is going to seem defensive, but I'm just going to say it – I'm a f*cking Indian woman who has her own television show,” Kaling said. “I have four series regulars that are women on my show, and no one asks these other shows (run by white men) why there are no women or women of color. People have a higher expectation for me. They say, why aren't you doing enough? And the answer is, I always want to do more because people should always be doing as much as they can, but my fulltime job is not casting 'The Mindy Project.”” PLUS: Kaling is writing another book.
