No, I also disagree.
I think about Oprah, and how several times I have heard her say that Diahann Carroll in the 1960's show "Julia" used to make her cry and smile, because there were no women/girls of color on TV or magazines, and to see someone who looked "like her", made her feel "better" about who she was (a black child).
Imagine a young (or any age for that matter) person struggling with their own sexuality seeing someone "like them". I imagine it would be a similar sensation.
Like all of us here, on this bulletin board. The one commonality is that we have is kids that are currently in college, or are searching for colleges that fit them. We come here for that "like me" sense.
I do not watch or support shows with gratuitous violence or negative stereotypes.
And for the record, I've never seen an episode of Grey's Anatomy.
