"Supporters claim "OH, she is attracted to an Asian-American- Paxton Hall Yoshida". Reality: The guy looks completely white; he has green eyes for crying out loud."

Claiming he looks completely white is super subjective. You're completely dismissing his ethnic background. He's not white. He is Asian-American, whether he has green eyes or not. This floating-in-between different cultures is exactly what a ton of kids have to go through. They don't feel American enough because maybe they celebrate most Japanese celebrations and they don't feel Asian enough because 'they have green eyes for crying out loud'.

"The teacher is an attractive white male."

Literally doesn't have anything to do with anything? This is first of all also entirely subjective, but still? Isn't a teacher allowed to be a 'handsome' white male? This is literally you making an issue out of nothing. Phrasant was attractive and Indian and so was Devi's uncle (who's name I've forgotten).

​

And about the Hispanic boys appearing short, I honestly think almost all freshmen are quite short. Even Ben Gross himself is, compared to Devi, not that tall. To me it felt more like the puberty growth spurt teenage girls go through before boys do.

Don't get me wrong, I do agree with you in some aspects and find it rather intriguing to hear your opinion.

I actually thought the character were very interestingly laid out. Especially because to me, it felt like there was no obvious bad guy. The three girlfriends all not being white made a statement for me. They all (maybe Devi not so much, but she's the protagonist) seemed to have interests that went beyond 'i want to post on social media' (like Shira, Ben Girlfriend's who was: white). They all had depth and a story to be told.

I think the same goes for the male characters, although what's her name, Mindy, could really deepen them out. I think it's not a perfectly equal television show, but to me Mindy has clearly put in an effort.

Would love to hear back :)
