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.

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

You’re giving her a lot of credit thinking she know what the show was about.
did she ever think why it might be called black ish… you couldn’t translate that situation to a white family in the US.
