The latest installment of AMC Series Mad Men presented one silly moment between Don Draper’s daughter and copywriter Paul Kinsey, who has been seeing a Black woman. Draper was forced to bring his daughter to work during a weekend pitch preparation, and the girl wound up spending time in Kinsey’s office. Spotting a framed photo of Kinsey’s girlfriend on his desk, the daughter asked, “Is this your maid?” Upon learning he was dating the woman, Draper’s daughter proceeded to press Kinsey with precocious sex-related questions. OK, she’s smart enough to ask about intimate details, but stupid enough to think someone might frame and display a photo of their maid? Whatever.

i've searched high and low. near and far... and i've only found one person out here who watches and loves MadMen.
Did not dig this episode. I watch the show, and sometimes it feels like they're reaching too far to prove that, "People were SO RACIST back then!" As if these days racism doesn't count because it's more subtle.
