— Mindy Kaling October 9, 2019 "I *was* singled out," she wrote."There were other Office writer-performer-producers who were NOT cut from the list. Just me. The most junior person, and woman of color. Easiest to dismiss. Just sayin'.
— Mindy Kaling October 10, 2019 "Hey, @TelevisionAcad! I have been a proud member for years. I was the 1st woman of color nominated for writing a comedy script," Kaling tweeted."Why not say"years ago we prevented a deserving woman of color from getting credit for her accomplishments.
