Great show, but am I the only one noticing a pattern of racism
18 June 2023
So I think the show is great and very inclusive and all that stuff. It hits on every race , but I notice some under tones of racism or say strong stereotypes of white people. Now I know when ok if you are stereotyping white people over any other but should I point out each character and the flaws of them portrayed. They make the boys in Devys school like Ben gross as the rich entitled snob. Or the "hot pockets" as thief's and dumbasses. Devys grandma BF Jeff Garlan is some kind of thief con man. The mom says "slamming doors is for white children". If any of these roles were switched to a person of color people would be on here slamming the show as being racist. I just want to point out the hypocrisy we have in this country when it comes to racism and stereotypes. I must say I enjoy the show , and personally don't really care about these aspects, but I don't see anybody bringing this up and it's simply because if it's racist towards white or Caucasian people it simply flies and is not that serious. If this show was about a white kid from a a upper class family and it portrayed the grandmas new black boyfriend as a scammer or the screw ups and thief's at school were all black nobody would probably watch the show and be on IMDB and other social media crucifying the writers and creators as super racist and not "woke". All the white characters have strange or plain bad qualities but I guess if your gonna have to have the screw ups and idiots to be in the show and to be a certain race it may as well be the white ones where it's ok to stereotype and make fun of without Zero backlash. The only person who doesn't get stereotyped is John Macenroe but he's just a narrator and that idea was brilliant. Great show but I had to point this out.
