I saw the episode. What started out as a good show has turned into a Leftist preach-fest. I'm considering removing it from my DVR lineup.
The rest of the show was about "People of Color" as doctors. The latest fad is to regard Asians as "people of color" and allies against "whiteness".
I have news for Asians: blacks do not regard you as being a "person of color".
You are right. It originally was about a young man struggling to overcome a handicap. That has become a very small part of the show.
The absurdity of the pregnancy overshadowed the racial propaganda in my memory. Thanks for reminding me.
