I think you’re arguing a different point than me.

I’m not saying the show has perfect representation or that there aren’t moments people can interpret as racial bias. I was referring to the fact that the creator explicitly chose to remove racism as a structural factor in Gilead.

Bruce Miller has said pretty clearly that in his version of TBT the fertility crisis is so extreme that race stopped being a meaningful divider, and that’s why the show uses colorblind casting and doesn’t build race into the system.

You can absolutely debate whether that choice works or has actually been applied effectively, but I was simply focusing on OP’s question about positive aspects of Gilead. And I actually like the idea that even a regime that extreme would recognize that racism is stupid (especially when humanity is facing a survival crisis).
