The most recent episode of “And Just Like That,” called “Diwali,” fell short for many South Asian viewers.
An image of Carrie Bradshaw carefully descending the stoop of her Upper East Side, New York, apartment — flowers in her hair, donning a red and blue lehenga — turned into a meme over the weekend after “And Just Like That” aired an episode entitled “Diwali.”
But what she found wasn’t a sari. In fact, there were no saris in the supposed sari shop where Seema took Carrie. As viewers pointed out online, after excitedly mentioning saris several times, Carrie ended up donning an ornate blue and red lehenga. “To kind of poke behind the curtain and see her with her family is always a way to learn what’s behind that exterior,” writer and executive producer Elisa Zuritsky said in an episode of theDespite the shortfalls, it’s a contrast from how the show has treated nonwhite characters in the past, critics are pointing out.
The racist portrayal of Arabs and Muslims was one of the few times in the series where the women were pictured with more than one person of color. But that changed in December with the release of “And Just Like That.” “They spent their entire 20s, 30s and 40s only having white friends, and now they’re suddenly starting to have friends of color?” Yuen said. “Or they’re like, ‘Oh ... I’m kind of racist.’”
Seema does fall into a gray area, Yuen said. Her main role is as a newfound support system for Carrie, a trope that women of color have long been relegated to.“She starts to invoke some of those stereotypes, but then you remember, ‘Oh, we just saw her parents,’ so it’s deeper than that,” Yuen said. “That’s the hope, that they can build a rich enough characterization of these new women of color characters.
