stereotyping of all sorts of people and they are serving to perpetuate bigotry at many levels. There's nothing entertaining about that.

and could not stand to watch an entire episode.

but they do play to a certain stupid crowd who thinks it's all real and feel like they can connect to them or some shit like that. to me it just comes off as too obviously fake .

and it's not just because of political beliefs either because i have watched the duggars and found some of that entertaining .
