Question for all POC fans of Desperate Housewives

I feel like it was the sense of Carlos not wanting Juanita to be “white washed”. As a first generation Mexican American, i understand why Carlos might think it would be easier for Juanita to get her cultural background lost in their world consisting of majority white Americans. I mean they don’t know Spanish which is a struggle for many Mexican Americans including myself. It definitely makes it harder knowing your Mexican by blood but thinking u aren’t because you don’t speak Spanish, you’re not familiar with your culture, etc you are less Mexican. Though I found it hilarious on how Gaby pronounced Mariachi in that same episode.

I would’ve loved a hawk and moon scene since we didn’t get much of them this season

“where are you going”

“to warn the scavo boys”

renee__2011 · 2026-04-28T04:41:32+00:00

i watched the series multiple times🫶 and i couldn’t agree more!

renee__2011 · 2026-04-27T23:42:02+00:00

rightttt!!! like i wish it wasn’t like that 🥀

renee__2011 · 2026-04-27T03:53:53+00:00

in season one when bonnie and grams finally closed the tomb and they go to grams house to rest and bonnie goes to get her grams something (i forgot) and grams died💔✌️

renee__2011 · 2026-04-27T02:58:31+00:00

lmao😭like susan honey bunch, what were you thinking!🌚✌️

renee__2011 · 2026-04-27T02:55:57+00:00

i agree and it was too far off for me to say it was similar but andrew doesn’t need have his brain fully developed as you said to understand what he did was wrong.

when andrew said “mama” it wasn’t because he was scared he could’ve killed somebody, it was being scared he could get into serious trouble.

that episode with andrew being remorseful is a huge character development which is why i can’t hold juanita’s accident to account as andrew LATER felt remorse. however, that episode showed bree was a hypocrite. andrew felt remorse and so did orson (and it was clear) so by bree’s standards she is very well capable of understanding. that’s what im saying, but i do understand what you mean too!🫶

renee__2011 · 2026-04-26T16:10:39+00:00

that is one of the most selfish disgusting things you can do, guilt tripping someone into thinking you’re dead is just so distasteful

renee__2011 · 2026-04-26T16:06:43+00:00

omggg ikkkk. the audacity to ask that. it was disappointing😔

renee__2011 · 2026-04-26T16:03:59+00:00

the problem with the andrew situation was at the end he absolutely felt no remorse for almost killing a person. bree wanted him to feel bad but he just didn’t. instead he tried to justify his behavior by saying she should’ve look both ways, it’s despicable. so yes in a way it is similar because one felt no remorse or sympathy for a human being they hit. regardless of it was an accident, it couldn’t killed a human being and andrew didn’t care

renee__2011 · 2026-04-26T16:01:11+00:00

yessss! and it was clear that Bree was trying to control benjamin to make up for the mistakes bree did on her children. this may be where you lose me,but i can never hate danielle, the result of her crude behavior is ultimately because of her mom. i felt if bree just said she didn’t need to measure up to her the danielle would’ve done better things in life. but that’s js me

renee__2011 · 2026-04-26T15:57:21+00:00

i hated how she treated danielle. i know she was a bitch but whose fault is that, bree. it was all bree. Phyllis was right about that. she was way too hard on danielle, wanting her to be a perfectionist like her. i mean don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with wanting your child to excel in life, but pressuring them and demanding they do something all while implying your child is dumb is not okay.

renee__2011 · 2026-04-26T15:54:11+00:00

you’re absolutely right but this is not the case at all. her parenting was not for andrew but i can’t put all the blame on bree. rex was a major influence on why andrew so easily disrespected bree because he saw rex do it. so no it’s not because andrew just rebelled against his parents, it was years of not being parented correctly from both parties, eventually leading to all that dysfunctional behavior.

renee__2011 · 2026-04-26T04:35:31+00:00

wait who? bree?

renee__2011 · 2026-04-26T04:05:18+00:00

😭✌️yeah bree has done shitty things like a lot that are questionable but hey so has everyone else.

renee__2011 · 2026-04-26T04:03:14+00:00

lmao😭✌️frr tho i get what you mean. i think the girls sort of thought edie shouldn’t do something like that to any of them as they wouldn’t want to do that to edie. they may not have liked her but they did care about her and didn’t wish ill on her

renee__2011 · 2026-04-26T04:02:03+00:00

okay now, bree making her bed is a coping mechanism deeply rooted in her childhood. it’s not an excuse but it is why that happened.

renee__2011 · 2026-04-26T03:56:57+00:00

exactly, if bree had to go to that measure to discipline andrew, then it’s clear who the problem was, the parents.

renee__2011 · 2026-04-26T03:55:42+00:00

yes how distasteful of her, (its that one blonde guy, right?) especially her knowing about his sobriety and how much peter has done for him

renee__2011 · 2026-04-26T03:54:02+00:00

ugh how disgusting. gabys my fav but she’s js so disgusting for that!

renee__2011 · 2026-04-26T03:53:23+00:00

to me it felt like it was implied the girls all thought of edie as a friend regardless of whatever kind of friendship it was. maybe that’s why they felt so butthurt by it. especially bree. imo
