No Apologies
Last spring Netflix bingewatchers devoured 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt', Tina Fey's next big thing after ''30 Rock. The show is the completely fearless story of a woman who follows her dreams to New York after being kidnapped and held in a cult for 15 years. Kimmy, played by Ellie Kemper, doesn't shy away from finding humor in Kimmy's trauma -- although some kidnapped victims might not find the storyline hilarious.
The big trouble around 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' is Jane Krakowski -- another member of Fey's SNL and 30 Rock vet -- in a brief episode in her role of Kimmy's socialite boss Jacqueline Vorhees. Kimmy becomes a nanny to Vorhees' son. The humor of the rich-woman Vorhees flashing back on her Native American woman heritage from Bear Creek, South Dakota was soon accompanied by charges of racism against Tina Fey. The controversy seems to center more on Krakowki the blond who couldn't possibly be of American Indian heritage because she factually looks damn white and of Polish ancestry.
