Earlier this week, Mindy Kaling tweeted about something she’s noticed in popular TV sitcoms. Particularly, white brothers and sisters.
She pointed out how these characters tend to act a bit “flirty” towards each other, which sparked quite a reaction from followers.
With white families on tv, the brothers and sisters are always, like flirty with each other

People mostly agreed. Some people even responded with examples that back up her claim.
