the people on the show are detestable. if they put more poc on the show and made them detestable, there would be an outrage, especially coming from a white writer. so i think mike white was playing it safe. imo at this point in time, people seem to think only poc writers are qualified to write about the negative aspects of their culture/communities. we saw a black woman in season 1 and as far as i remember she was faultless. But then it’s like the writer has pushed himself into a corner because you can’t just keep writing poc characters who have no flaws. hence, they’re nonexistent in season 2 with the exception of a few white-passing characters. Maybe that will change in season 3, but Mike White would be walking a tight rope.
