Mindy Kaling + Matt Damon = A Little Case of the Envies

I love Mindy Kaling and I love Matt Damon, this you know.

She’s smart and hilarious and running shit in the man’s world of comedy. She’s a woman and a woman of color; she speaks her mind and isn’t shy about what she wants.

Oh, and she’s Indian.

Which is such bonus because seriously, I don’t know the last time an Indian woman dominated American television the way Mindy does. And you know why I don’t know? Because it’s never happened. And since I didn’t grow up in a household where we watched Indian television and Bollywood films, Mindy is really the first Indian woman I’ve ever watched on the small screen.

Girlfriend makes me proud.

I would love her even if I wasn’t Indian, but because I am, my love is coupled with some serious cultural pride.

And now, she’s gone and done this

Which makes all of that love + pride tinged with some serious envy.

Because really, how cute is he?

I’m thinking I wouldn’t mind being Mindy for a day. And if I can choose my day, I make it this one, the one where she gets to be all cute and snuggly with Matt.

Holla bitches.
