Sometimes little things niggle way more than they're supposed to.
There's a TV show called Ellis about a cop who drives to small English towns when there's been a murder to solve the crime. Often the local cops aren't welcoming. They think they don't need the help.
Ellis is a Black woman
There was a review in The Independent that condemned the show for "identity politics" even tho the show almost never mentions race or gender.
Read the review a week ago but I'm still cross
