The Gossipization of Glee.



I can’t help but get the feeling that the black and yellow faces that were initially part of the “caste” of Gossip Girl were nothing more the multiracial window dressing. Admittedly I’m not a fan of the show, but I noticed soon after the show’s inception the cute black girl and pretty Asian girl, whose role in the show was largely relegated to sit in the backdrop, with arms crossed looking upset(perhaps they knew of their impending termination), were soon replaced with their complete absence. If Glee’s recent cover for Rolling Stones magazine is foreshadowing, it may be just a matter of time before Glee’s non whites are soon faded out of a job.
