During the beginning, Delacroix mentions shows like Homeboys in Outer Space and the Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer to Dunwitty, in response to the fact the latter wants a show on buffonery rather than an intelligent 'Cosby' clone.

* TheLastDJ: Delacroix's father, a stand-up comedian who refused to sell out to Hollywood in favor of doing what he loved with the people he loved, in the way he loved to do it. However, the consequences of such integrity are that he doesn't have the recognition or income befitting of his talent. When Delacroix comes to him for advice, the old comedian says that he has "too much pride" to say the things that Hollywood would want him to say. Unfortunately, Delacroix decides that he doesn't want to end up broke but proud, and doubles down on the minstrel show.

* BoomerangBigot: Discussed. The fact that a minstrel show gets popular leads to the black creators getting a considerable amount of pushback and criticism from the audience. Delacroix tells the press all sorts of excuses as to why the show is perfectly fine, though [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he secretly starts having second thoughts]] once he sees how much damage the show is doing to racial tensions.
