You don't see the difference between using that term for a show vs. a person?

To be perfectly honest, this barely registered as offensive for me given the whole atrocity that is Cannoli, so I disagree that this is an especially loathsome statement from him.
That said, I don't know who uses "-ish" to describe someone's race. Ish to me implies an ambiguity and uncertainty about where something fits in a culture/race. Which fits the show perfectly, since that's what they're focussed on.
Saying that of a person who is unambiguously half-Black half-Indian is certainly weird, especially when we're reliving the painful trope of questioning her American citizenship.
Substitute half-Black in the sentence Cannoli wrote. Doesn't that read better?
Proof of Biden's senility - picking a black(ish) VP while running in the most racist country ever.

This is pretty loathsome, even for Cannoli. *NM*

I must be missing something... didn't see anything particularly objectionable there. *NM*

You’re not missing anything. It’s irony, not anything remotely objectionable. *NM*

When was the last time you met anyone who made the choice to use the phrase "black(ish)"? *NM*

It's the title of an American TV show. Great call!

Spare me your "patience". I'd appreciate some intelligence instead.

These days as long as he or she was Hindu and spoke Hindi they’d have a shot.

It may seem that way, but no. And thank you for abandoning that line of argument.

I think he’s hilarious. Plus it impresses my Indian team to no end when I curse like that. *NM*

There's no way you don't understand the difference between someone using it to describe someone else
