Tropes about her career:

• Plays Great Ethnics: Lovell is half Black and half white and has commented on her own ethnic ambiguity, saying she's frequently been mistaken for being Middle Eastern or South Asian. She plays a Pakistani-American woman in The Big Sick, and on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (where her character matches her ethnic background) a minor character assumes she's Indian.
