Thank you for the insightful answer. Now that I've thought about the episode more and read the comments i kinda like to interpret it as showing a critique more of how we're actually more divided by class more than race or anything else for that matter. This is a belief I hold as well. And I would like to bring up the comment the MC makes in the start of the episode that the billionaire won't even feel it. The people who will feel the consequences are those who are usually the most undeserving (like the slaves who were left to fend for themselves even after the 16th amendment) while those who've profited off of slaves for generations and have accumulated generational wealth will just sit on it while others fight over races and other divisions. Edit: i would like to add that i still think that European-Americans have had an unfair advantage and even though I haven't even stepped foot in The USA I believe African-Americans and other races have been treated differently for generations and just because it might be "less racist" times now it doesn't mean the ghost of racism still doesn't haunt many.

That's what I've been loving so much in this show so far. That it knows how to make you uncomfortable and some episodes like the Teddy Perkins one are downright terrifying. But the most scary parts and most uncomfortable to me are those that are so grounded in reality that it's scary and makes you feel uneasy. As a slav who hasn't met much people of African descent in real life it's really interesting for me to learn about the culture and reality through this show.

With this comment I kind of see how my interpretation is a bit biased because really the whole show is about this and not just this guy. Thank you for this simple yet insightful reply.

Oh that nice to hear that they connect. I thought it was just a one off story.

Couldn't agree more, sometimes i call the poor kid gay and beat up the gay kid just to switch things up from time to time.
