We review episode 12, season 1 of the Sitcom “Whoopi” entitled “American Woman” where Rue guest stars as Marian. A sex charged senior who is staying at Mavis’ hotel so that she & her friends can get high. Meanwhile one of her friend’s becomes paranoid that Naseem who works at the hotel is a terrorist because he is Persian as he studies for his U.S. citizenship test & calls the police on him.

Also, Mavis’ brother Courtney appoints himself to rid the hotel of Marian & her friends as he does not approve of drugs. In another scene Mavis & her multi-cultural group of friends discuss immigration issues & how “illegals” are stealing their jobs & should come to this country the “right” way.

While this episode aired 19 years ago, many of the themes mentioned are still relevant today which of course caused us to have many side bars aside from just reviewing the episode.

Shows like this are important as they display ignorant beliefs, however the problem is many people in real life think the way some of these characters do & don’t see anything wrong with it!
