if that is true, would be pushing ideological or political messaging.
If it’s a cold hard fact (which it is), it’s not “pushing a message”.
Why are you putting “educate” and “preach” in quotes?
White people can also have SCD, so why couldn’t the show have one who also was born to parents with SCD? To a person accusing the show of feeling woke, it would appear like a convenient excuse to erase people that are white with sickle cell disease.
Sickle cell disease occurs in 1:58,000 Caucasians, 1:1,100 Hispanics (eastern states), 1: 32,000 Hispanics (western states), 1:11,500 Asians, and 1:2,700 Native Americans. About 1:12 African Americans carry sickle cell trait. About 1 in every 365 Black or African American babies are born with sickle cell disease.
So just with those odds, there’s also the the fact that not everyone who has the trait necessarily has abilities in the show, so you’d make these increasingly complex jumps in logic just to get a white person on the show for… what? White people haven’t historically been in the minority in western TV. White males, especially, we haven’t been the victims of systematic injustice on anything even nearing the level of what most minorities have gone through.
It’s just as stupid as “straight pride”. Yeah, go ahead, celebrate your heterosexuality, but calling it “pride” doesn’t make any sense since no-one evershamedanyone for beingstraight
It’s amazing how much assumption you fit into one comment
