Mindy Kaling Sparked A Conversation On Twitter About White TV Siblings With Creepy Sexual Tension, And Now My Eyes Are Burning
On Monday, Mindy Kaling took to Twitter to point out a common theme she's noticed amongst TV siblings, specifically white brothers and sisters.
The multi-faceted actor and writer pointed out how "flirty" these characters tend to act towards each other, and tons of people immediately agreed.
With white families on tv, the brothers and sisters are always, like flirty with each other
In fact, fans even provided examples to back up Mindy's claim. Here are just some of the borderline incestuous TV siblings that have graced our screens throughout the years:
