In this light, it’s perhaps the best conclusion to look at Liz Lemon as where we’ve come from and Leslie Knope as where we should be heading. As we trickle into the 21st century, the post-modern beliefs are being shed, and the social culture seems to be that we are meant to reject our labels, because they do not define us. Progressive media is no longer about representing what’s in our backyard, but what is on our horizon. We are not our races, our genders, or our sexualities: we are humans. The sooner we can move away from the contextual approach to our identities, the better. The reactionism was a necessary first step in balancing power, embracing minority with pride. But the goal is equality, and we can’t achieve that without embracing the notion that in a fundamental way, we are all the same.
