Emily In Paris shunned for humiliating Ukrainians: 'Offensive'

Emily In Paris is being bashed for its offensive portrayal of Ukrainian women.

Oleksandr Tkachenko, Ukraine’s minister of culture has called out Netflix for its caricature of the natives, and has dubbed it unacceptable.

"In Emily in Paris we have a caricature of a Ukrainian woman which is unacceptable. It is also offensive," he says.

"Is this how Ukrainians will be seen abroad? Who steal, want to get everything for free, be afraid of deportation? This should not be so," asks the diplomat.

The criticism comes after  authors allegedly made a foul depiction of  Kyiv-native Petra in season two.

Mr Tkachenko added: "In the 1990s and 2000s, Ukrainian guys were portrayed mainly as gangsters. Over time this has changed. However, not in this case."
