Holy crap dude, the main character is basically white, he and his family have a privileged life, live in the suburbs, are educated and have high end white collar jobs. The whole freaking point of the show (which is well defined in the name, Black-ish) is that he feels that he is an Uncle Tom, pushing aside his black heritage, and tried unsuccessfully to be more "black"...he's unsuccessful because he likes the privileged life (and he was never quite as black as he fancied himself). So, he ends up in embarrassing situations where his need to be "black" interferes with his lifestyle. It's a freaking comedy.

Hatred? The only hatred there was something that you projected dude.
