Yeah we know that tracee is mixed, and some of the kids on there may be of mixed heritage... but do they emphasize that on black-ish
as in talking about it, etc
or do they keep it focused on the black experience as a whole
yes they do, they have conflicts about the way each of the characters raise the kids due to their different backgrounds, Anthony's parents live with the family, Tracee's parents (one white, one black) visit sometimes
thats actually the catalyst for the mixed-ish spinoff
i see.
I still see why mixed - ish was created though .
There's an entirely separate experience that comes for kids/people who have one black parent and one white parent
Unless black-ish was exclusively tackling that experience , as opposed to touching on it here and there , there was room for a spin off
They're basically capitalizing on the growing mixed/ biracial population .
Based on what I've seen there definitely is a struggle worth exploring for them .
Choke mentioned "good hair" and "bad hair " being discussed but there are a lot of black people who come from mostly black families with a different texture of hair .
And some biracial people don't even "look mixed". it's the EXPERIENCE that separates them IMO. Like having their white grandparents barfing at the thought of their white mother child deciding to lay down and have a child with a nigger 🤮🤮 etc.
I've seen some crazy stories .
