.@Colorlines I actually think OITNB deeply dehumanizes people of color. It's horrible.

@aurabogado@exfkaty@Colorlines And while Piper is advocating for better conditions, WOC (besides Sofia) are portrayed as too dumb to care. -
@RaniaKhalek@aurabogado@exfkaty@Colorlines I didn't see the WOC being represented as too dumb... but aware that the system doesn't care -
@RaiElise@Colorlines agreed. It does use stereotypes and really we all fit some but it doesn't end there each characters story unfolds. -
@daniellemkali@Colorlines@RaiElise@aurabogado Exactly! To point out the one "Fried chicken" moment is the actual race reducation argument -
.
@mathewrodriguez@daniellemkali@Colorlines@RaiElise Oh, trust me, I can point out many more. -
@aurabogado@mathewrodriguez@daniellemkali@Colorlines@RaiElise i do think that the show falls short in its representation of latin@s. -
@quinoshakur@aurabogado@mathewrodriguez@daniellemkali@Colorlines I think it is very difficult to write a comedy about prison... -
@RaiElise@Colorlines@quinoshakur@aurabogado@mathewrodriguez what's better? some representation albeit romanticized or none at all? - 5 more replies

@aurabogado@exfkaty@Colorlines Have u seen piece by@unprison? A Former Prisoner’s View: “Orange is the New Black” http://tinyurl.com/lpvec4t -
@milo_phd@aurabogado@Colorlines@Unprison No - will check out. Piper in real life also seems cooler than character on show, fwiw -
.
@exfkaty@milo_phd@Colorlines@Unprison Piper in real life has made a lot of money making up stories about women of color. -
@aurabogado@milo_phd@Colorlines@Unprison The activism I've mostly seen is her Twitter. -
@exfkaty@aurabogado@Colorlines@Unprison Also today's@nytimes OpEd: For Women, a Second Sentence http://tinyurl.com/mffn8to -
.
@milo_phd@exfkaty@Colorlines@Unprison@nytimes I'd rather read an op-ed from Assata Shakur. -
@aurabogado@exfkaty@Colorlines@Unprison@nytimes Many would. Meanwhile I welcome diversity of voices criticizing#massincarceration. -
@aurabogado@exfkaty@Colorlines@Unprison@nytimes Also voices identifying plausible reforms that may yield more decarceration.

@aurabogado#OITNB filled with humor and shows inclusive bonding between women beyond racial barriers#lightenup -
.
@rbiega I'm perfectly content with my skin color. Not trying to "lighten up" any time soon. -
@aurabogado Wasn't referring to skin color but to the intention of the show as a light-hearted show, humor, human connections beyond race
