There are friends who seem happy in their clique. Then there are two boys who play important roles in the series. Most of the actors are people of color. So the creators have deliberately given importance to cast people of color which is a great thing. There was also a controversy during the productions.
Writer Ming Peiffer shared that she backed out of the project because of racist allegations made by one of the creators of the project. She shared that they went “full Karen” the term used to denote people who discriminate against people of color.
