working hard... or hardly working?!!?!

Ladies and gentleman, I am supposed to be writing my paper on the possible factors that could contribute to an infant being born with complications, but I feel like I need to comment on the show "90210". I really enjoyed the original, and I'm not too sure how I feel about this new one. The characters seem to try a little too much to fulfill a certain image. PLUS... there's a family with an adopted black son. I'm all for multiculturalism, but not when people are completely tokenized. He is the ONLY person of color and he happens to be adopted. To me, reading that tells me that he's not a "natural" addition to the cast, or a weird plug for Beverly Hills. It's just weird... the sad thing is that I'm probably gonna keep watching it...

YES, I am a sucka!
