One bit I loved was when that awful interviewee asked Mindy to touch his tattoo and she refused, and he responded "Indian girls never want to touch it." It was such a brilliant and understated little bit about how frustrating it can be when your personal decisions are brushed off due to your membership in some group (like hearing "you're probably on your period"). I think Mindy has some interesting stuff to say, it's just piled under a lot of typical sitcom conventions (which I find entertaining, so it's fine by me).
