There were several 1970’s shows that used marginalized characters in an attempt to be inclusive or at least different. Sanford and Son, Chico and the Man, and Welcome Back Kotter. If you compare them to Family Matters, or Head if the Class, or George Lopez, we really sanitized our inclusivity. Basically, everybody had to live like the Silver Spoons kid and race was a very special episode.

I'm no fan of the n-word, but that's exactly what Esther called Gripp when she found out he was claiming he had defiled Esther's sister.
