These ‘Real American’ Sitcoms Are More Socially Relevant Than Roseanne

Fresh Off The Boat Shows Another Side Of America

Fresh Off The Boat follows the Huang family’s move from Washington D.C. to a suburb of Florida. Based on chef Eddie Huang’s life, the show takes a realistic look at growing up Asian in America. Writing for Huffington Post, Ester Suh said it acknowledges the “lack of inclusivity Asian Americans have had in the nation’s cultural and entertainment dialogue.”

Suh is right. It’s nearly impossible to think of another primetime show about an Asian American family. With America becoming more culturally diverse every day, Fresh Off The Boat is a needed reminder of what this country is all about.
