We get the point. We just don't agree. People have to stop acting like every time someone doesn't jump on a bandwagon, its because they can't comprehend where the wagon is going.
Also, while a joke doesn't have to explicitly mention skin tone to be colorist, you can't just claim that any old joke is colorist because it's aimed at a dark-skinned person. That's what Ari is doing. Again, she never said anything about the substance of the jokes. Her expressed stance was that the jokes were colorist because they were aimed at the dark-skinned woman in the cast. That's bullshit.
This reminds me of the story about King Louie in the original Jungle Book. The execs at Disney wanted Louie Armstrong to voice King Louie. Either they thought against it or Armstrong turned it down. The problem was King Louie is an orangutan, and someone feared it would be seen as racist for having a black man voice an ape. Instead, the execs basically got some white dudes to do their best Louie Armstrong impression. The result was Armstrong missing out on a check because what people would falsely assume was at play. That's basically what Ari is doing. She has a complex that is probably legitimate due to what she experience when she came up. She's now projecting that complex onto the show. By her logic, they should have gotten a light-skinned woman to play Pam to avoid colorism and Tichina Arnold would have missed out on her biggest acting role ever for some shit that most likely wasn't in the minds of anyone behind the show.
