Line 8:
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: In one episode Harry, who spends the episode being anything but humble, tells her client, a wrongfully imprisoned [[Angry Black Man]], that he should be more humble - even toward a (white)actively malevolent [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]].
** Arguably, she said this only because the bureaucrat wasn't going to parole him without it. On the other hand, Harry and the show seemed to almost side with the bureaucrat, because the prisoner didn't get paroled until he genuinely learned a Very Special Lesson about the importance of humility... Toward offensive white people? His glare, says Harry, is "unattractive".
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: In one episode, Harry's firm ends up indirectly defending China's one child policy. For one thing, the situation leading to the court case is non-sensical. More importantly, seriously?! You're defending a policy imposing massive cultural distortions, forced abortions, abortion or abandonment for millions (possibly even hundreds of millions) of infant girls? Apparently, to a radical liberal, the phrase "reproductive rights" exclusively means the right *not* to reproduce. Actually wanting to have children is evidence of some kind of perversion.
** Well we do live in a world where some particularly militant child-free by choice people call parents "breeders" and children "crotch droppings." So that viewpoint is, unfortunately, a very real one that some people have. Whoever wrote that episode just might be one of them.
