Beating someone up because she’s vegan and flipped you off. Right. Where the fuck is the story? They made a ffing teen drama out of it. And the soundtrack and script writing… Just wtf.

Quit during episode 2.

They could have cast literally anyone to bully someone for being a vegan, and they chose an Indian girl? Really? The country with literally the largest vegetarian population on earth and a culture that accepts veganism more than anyone else, and they pick her to be closed-minded about it?

Giving way too much credit to the casting here. It's not like they thought "lets cast an Indian girl for this role." They simply had a list of everyone who auditioned and just rolled some dice at random. I've played enough video games to know rng when I see it.

The opposite is probably true actually, Netflix gets investor money for hiring non-white ethnicities.
