Stereotypes in Corporate America and “the Unwritten Rules”

LOS ANGELES - July 23, 2013 - PRLog -- Nearly 1 Million views, and fans of the hit web series "the Unwritten Rules" continue to share the show with friends, while expressing their thankfulness to Creator and Producer Kim Williams for allowing their voice to be heard.  

"the Unwritten Rules", based on the book "40 Hours and An Unwritten Rule: The Diary of a Nigger, Negro, Colored, Black, African-American Woman" by Kim Williams, uses comedy to address some of the most common racial stereotypes and experiences of African-Americans in predominantly White Corporate America.  

Some have coined it NBC’s “The Office” with a twist!  

Starring Aasha Davis, best known for her roles in "Friday Night Lights" as Waverly Grady and "South of Nowhere", as Chelsea Lewis, Season 1 of "the Unwritten Rules", Aasha Davis (Racey), opened with a young African-American woman, hired as a manager in a predominantly White company. Racey brings the audience along her journey, humorously navigating through her work days, as they learn and see themselves portrayed.

Davis' co-stars include Gabrielle Christian (Lauren) - "South of Nowhere", Sara Finley (Kathy) - "Rizzoli and Isles" and David Lowe (Peter) - "I Melt with You". Other cast members include Ebenezer Quaye, Kayla Ibarra, Antonio Ramirez, Lyn Ross and Balbinka.

Cast members of "the Unwritten Rules" are often asked if there are tensions on the set, especially in light of recent race relations issues in America.  The answer is always a resounding "NO" as cast members strive to "give a voice" to many who are often "unheard" in America.  As best stated by David Lowe, a White actor who plays the nerdy, awkward "Peter" on the show, "This is a time to have those conversations.  This is a time to ask the uncomfortable questions.  This is a time to admit you're ignorant if you really don't know something.  And above all else, this must be a time of understanding."  Lowe allows no excuses for the ignorance of anyone, going on to state "Form your personal opinion, it's what makes you who you are, but do it, grounded in an intellectual thought process that allows you to search for answers you may not already have.  The time for blaming ignorance on the town you grew up in, or the way you were raised, or tradition, or blah blah blah is over.  We have this wonderful thing called the internet. Do your research, learn, grow, become a better person, and maybe, together we can all get a little less angry, and get a lot closer as a human race."
