Ugly Betty’s Facial Discrimination

“Facial Discrimination” is Jay Bains’s blog. Her latest article poses questions about the TV show Ugly Betty. Jay asks: “Betty is good-hearted, brave and the centre of the hit show. So what is it about her that makes her so… ugly?!”

Personally, I think Jay is confusing fact with fiction, and discrimination with irony. Betty Suarez is not the star of the show; America Ferrera is. The producers of the show obviously intended for the title to be an ironic comment. Jay’s blog seems to have lots of people up in arms, take a look at her comments.
