Sometimes TV's version of race relations reminds me of The Cosby Show, where middle-class black people were somehow able to spend their whole lives virtually never having to interact with white people at all (let alone obnoxious/problematic white people). It was this weird fantasy of segregation made happy, which maybe explains why Apartheid-era white South Africans apparently loved that show a lot.
