This scene (go exactly 9 minutes into the show) could have come straight from a feminist's mouth as Samantha tells Darin how she feels about a particular incident with Darren. Great stuff.
Wikipedia states: "Some episodes take a backdoor approach to such topics as racism, as seen in the first season episode, "The Witches Are Out", in which Samantha objects to Darrin's demeaning ad portrayal of witches as ugly and deformed. Such stereotypical imagery often causes Endora and other witches to flee the country until November. "Sisters at Heart" (season 7), whose story was submitted by a tenth-grade English class,[10] involved Tabitha altering the skin tone of herself and a black friend with coordinating polka-dots, so that people would treat them alike."
I'd highly recommend watching the entire episode as there are some other nuggets of wonder. = )
