It’s not news that television sitcoms have often depicted immigrant characters in stereotypical ways. But Chuck Lorre’s new CBS comedy Bob Hearts Abishola hopes to rewrite this narrative.
Farha Abbasi, MD, an assistant professor of cultural psychiatry at Michigan State University, tells Yahoo Entertainment that shows need to “take away the foreignness from immigration. These are not outsiders — they’re Americans. They’re part of our fabric. It’s important to portray them like everyone else.”
Unfortunately, these stereotypes build up over time. “The more consistent the portrayal, the stronger the stereotype formation,” Matthew Grizzard, PhD, an assistant professor of media psychology in the School of Communication at The Ohio State University, tells Yahoo Entertainment.
