This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve only watched part way through season one, and all I see is a cliche and racial stereotypes. Also it’s a show that generalises white people and make them out as racist pigs.

A few direct quotes from the movie;

"what's wrong is he afraid letting the negroes gather in groups might start a little rebellion on his plantation? Well you tell him from me he should be."

"Dear white people in a shocking reversal using the term African American is borderline racist now. It turns out if you're too worried about political correctness to say black odds are you secretly want to call us ****

While I do laugh at the comedic jabs thrown at woke liberal idiots over their "covert" woke nonsense policies and naming conventions that do **** all to help anyone of color this just wasn't all that funny.… Expand
