To the editor: Columnist Lorraine Ali says we may use a personality like Archie Bunker on TV at this time to spark conversations about racism and different contentious points.
This is able to be pointless. The non-introspective proper wouldn’t perceive the parody and take him actually. That is made painfully clear by the remark quoted by Ali that “the woke left” wouldn’t permit such a personality on tv at this time.
I concern that Archie Bunker would turn out to be a right-wing icon.

To the editor: Archie Bunker could not exist at this time, however his “Little Lady” may. But Sally Struthers’ Gloria did not even warrant a point out alongside the opposite important solid members.
Though Bea Arthur’s Maude introduced a feminist perspective to an episode of “All within the Household” earlier than it was spun off into its personal present, it was Gloria who represented the battle for equal rights week after week, difficult her father’s sexist rants and enlightened her conventional mom and even stood as much as her liberal husband’s generally “Meathead” concepts about ladies.
Go, little lady!
