While Abishola's instincts tell her to remain cautious of Bob's interest, her girlfriends at the hospital are as tickled about the courtship as her aunt and uncle. In one eye-opening lunchtime scene, they discuss the ethnic hierarchy of who Abishola would choose to marry. As her spunky busybody friend Kemi (Gina Yashere) explains, "Top of the list, Nigerian man — same tribe (Yoruba). Then, Nigerian man — different tribe (Igbo). Then, other Africans (except Tunisians and Egyptians). Obviously. Then Caribbean. Then white. Then African American."

Their other friend, a black woman named Gloria (Vernee Watson), takes offense to this, starting a hot-button debate between the two of them about anti-black propaganda. Interestingly, it's not the first time the series alludes to cultural mistrust between black Americans and African immigrants, reminding the audience that people of African descent aren't a monolithic group. I'm curious how the series will go on to explore this, though I'm wary that by continuously highlighting the friction between these two groups, the series will by default become a platform for denigrating black Americans.

Ya'll thinking about Kevin James. This is Billy Gardell who was on that show Mike & Molly
