    The Ukrainian woman character was SO offensive. So xenophobic. I think Americans doing reviews of this show don't fully realize just how bad it was. Eastern Europeans are treated like second class citizens in Western Europe, there is a stereotype of a Eastern European immigrant who steals, drinks, has no culture and is generally untrustworthy. Emily In Paris played right into that. They didn't even need Petra's (which isn't even a Ukrainian name) character! She didn't push the plot forward in any significant way, she was in the show only to make fun of an already discriminated group.

    This show managed to be both problematic and boring, with a main character who's neither smart nor sympathetic, and whose only attempt at appearing creative is wearing clothes that look like what would have happened if you'd given me a Barbie color book and crayons when I was 8. That's my take on season 1, and it looks like season 2 is more of the same, and I won't be watching. Derailing it completely is the only way to give it any value, so a You crossover is genius.

Not to mention, the fact that something is fictional does not negate the fact that it can perpetuate harmful ideas, not to mention the fact that seeing someone who is much like you depicted so negatively and maybe even demonized, or really seeing anything you might find upsetting can genuinelly hurt. The problem here is that negative stereotypes are being perpetuated here and this has real impact on us and society in general. If you, for example, only ever depicts black people as the bad guys, people are, subconsciously or even consciously going to internalize that and have more negative associations and opinions about black people in general, when those people as a general group have not done anything to warrant that kind of opinion on them.

      I like Sylvie and Mindy, but the thing is, Emily is supposed to represent a different perspective than either of those two. Someone who is new to a country with good intentions, but makes mistakes while trying to adapt to a new culture. It's the concept of a 'foil'. And older and younger French characters, with two new American and Chinese characters (Emily and Mindy). Like it or not, but that gives more people who watch a personality or awkward adaptation moments they can identify with.

Now the Ukrainian government is after Emily in Paris. I think Ninja a little bias about Lilly Collins accountability for this offensive shit. She's a producer and she's very aware of the xenophobic and racist appalling behavior. I hold Lilly Collins very accountable. And that's disgusting how the show jokes way too much about a 29 year old Emily sleeping with an underage child. If Emily was a 29 year old man named, Emile, and slept with a 15 year old girl people would lose their shit(Hypocrisy). Emily's clothes are garbage, just say it don't be nice about it.

    I think everyone can bear artistic licenses like Paris being an idealised version of the reality or the main character getting a job unrealistically.

      I love how people defend the rape in Outlander and Game of Thrones for being "historically accurate" even with time travel and dragons (respectively), but here they're saying that TV shows don't have to be realistic. Their defense really just tells me: I'm a crappy person, and I feel attacked when people point out that a show I like is terrible, but I'm going to defend it instead of realize how problematic it is because that means I'm not validated." It's sick.

    Anything and everything Darin Star does needs to have a racial stereotype. Do you guys not remember that sex in the city movie where they go to Abu Dhabi and it’s basically 2 hours of making fun or Arabs and muslims? Recently, the sex in the city reboot dressed Sarah Jessica Parker in a lehenga (an Indian attire) and kept calling it a saree the entire time (another south Asian/Indian/Bangladeshi/Sri lankan attire that absolutely isn’t a lehenga) and now all non Indian folks think a lehenga is a saree. They couldn’t get one Indian person to ask the difference between a lehenga and saree

    I'm European. I've been to Paris and France in general, etc. so I thought I'd put my 2 cents in here.
    - This show is supposedly all about Paris but it's so heavily glamorized and Americanized that the shows countless inaccuracies are laughable.
    - The stereotyping in this show is UNREAL. French people don't constantly think about sex or want to sleep with everyone nor does everyone cheat on their partners, not everyone is rude, they don't come into the office at 12pm, I could go on.
    - Every. Single. Man. she meets throws himself at Emily. Not only is that highly unlikely, but it also implies that French men only think about sex and that they only see women as a means to experience pleasure or whatnot.
    This show honestly pisses me off so much.

    This show feels like something that would have been made 20-30 years ago. How they portrai different ethnicities is just wrong. So sad to see how much potential they had in improving their message and how they depict people - Petra as an Urkranian woman from an eastern European culture is just wrong. But also how they depicted Germans as people who do have no humor whatsoever is very sterotypical - it was very brief - but still offensive I´d imagine. And also how Emily´s thin body was glorified within, as it can be so triggering to people that suffer from an ED. Anyone feels the same?

However, he also made the revival, which from what I heard tried too hard to be progressive, so maybe it’s on the writers for the stereotype-based humor
