I think that whole "uncle Tom" stereotype is incredibly destructive. You're telling young men in particular that they aren't 'real men' unless they take on a persona that's going to get them absolutely nowhere.

On an unrelated point, I think Aisha Tyler is one of the very few people who's actually been held back by her own good looks. I saw her doing stand-up comedy once, and she's really good. But somehow comics don't seem to click in quite the same way when they're ridiculously good-looking.
