For me, it's not the lack of diversity on "Girls" that bugs, it's the "well, I don't know any black people" defense of the lack of diversity that bugs.

I'm black and I'll admit that most of my really close friends are black, but I have friends of many different ethnic backgrounds and I encounter people of different ethnic backgrounds EVERY day. So, Lena Dunham is telling us that at NO time in her life has she had a relationship (work or otherwise)EVER? In her life? If that's true, it's because it's a choice she's made.

I've known attractive people who've made disparaging comments about "fat/ugly" people and not every fat woman hates skinny women and think they are "disgusting".

As for why people feel so strongly and negatively toward her (at least some of them) . . . for me, at first I didn't care one way or the other about her, but after a solid YEAR of having her shoved in my face at every opportunity, I got truly sick of her. This is not an exaggeration -- there were months where every single "woman's" magazine (Marie Claire, Elle, Vogue, etc. . .) I read had an article gushing about her "brilliance;" where every arts section of every major newspaper I read tongue-bathed her show; where seemingly every actor interviewed raved about how much they looooved her show; where every cultural critic adulated her. And now, a Golden Globe. I would get sick of seeing something I *loved* get such constant, unstinting attention and praise, but after seeing Girls and finding it annoying, irrelevant, un-entertaining, and frankly not very flattering to women, I really turned against Lena and the show. To me, the empress has no clothes here (or very poorly fitting ones). I know that's just my opinion, and it's not like I'm going to chase after her with a pitchfork or something. But I really wish she would go away for a while, or at least produce something different that would justify the constant adulation she receives.
