This is referenced sometime in the middle of the series. Looking like a brown girl is "too indian" in america, but looking like a normal teen in front of the brown community makes you look like a white washed uncultured child. Being a teen with immigrant parents, and being known for stereotypical blocks society has put out there can be very upsetting. It's a normal thing to at least have thought about what it would be like to have the hottest guy in school liking you, and being accepted by everyone. But we all crave for popularity and acceptance every now and then. I will agree, there were many weird parts to the story, and her obsession to be popular was quite a bit annoying. I think the show was showcasing a perspective of life growing up as an indian-american teen. As a south-asian first generation teen, I live a very similar life to hers, my family situation is also very identical to hers. Not the sex references exactly, but the main character's life. Lots of the reviews are saying that the show isn't that great or weird, but it was very relatable to me. ![]() I personally found this series very fun and addictive. ![]()
