Spoke to Chelsea Handler about her new book. Asked about being ghosted by Andrew Cuomo when she propositioned him for sex, and what she thinks about him running for mayor:

But this is the key graf, and exactly correct. People of Indian descent are often held up as The Good Minority, but alot of the SAs who come here have access to great education in India, which means they often come from wealth. It's more class than a "superior work ethic."

One slight qualm I have is this line about South Asians being underrepresented in Hollywood. There's no shortage of brown actors, playwrights, novelists and other types of artists. The issue is the industry thus far has been unwilling to spotlight or elevate them. But point taken.

This trend is rapidly getting worse. (Happening not just in sports, and helped by the fact that consumers themselves don't seem to care or notice.)
