Many people who have read this article have thought that Glee should not have wont this award because they "perpetuate stereotypes". However I think that, while the show has many different races and kinds of people, the stereotypes they discuss are presented in such a manner that to the audience they seem ridiculous and in turn cause the audience to condemn such broad stereotypes.
i think its great that more prime time shows on networks such as abc, nbc and fox have shows that have a more diverse cast of actors, greys anatomy, heroes and glee are all shows that have been majorly successful and have a diverse cast without necessarily choosing actors to portray a racial stereotype, in fact i was watching a behind the scenes video of glee's casting process and the original screenplay had some of the characters that were imagined to be a certain ethnicity and type but chosen based on the good chemistry they had with the other actors in the cast which shows how unbiased and organic the casting process was
