I remember my 80+ year old grandmother getting upset that there was a shot called “Blackish” and not a show called “Whtieish” or whatever. And like… I dunno Brady Bunch, etc?
My mother asked me a similar question some 15 years ago. It was why we didn’t have White History Month or White Entertainment Television.
Sadly, I didn’t have the ammo to fire back and say something like, “what about March thru January, and maybe all the rest of the television on TV since forever?”
I suppose Schitt’s Creek would be the closest equivalent I can think of. If we’re talking about a family living out of their stereotypical circumstances.

Golden Girls
Just about every 70s and 80s sitcom that wasn’t Sanford and Son or Good Times.

Gilmore Girls
did she ever think why it might be called black ish… you couldn’t translate that situation to a white family in the US.

You’re giving her a lot of credit thinking she know what the show was about.
