The only thing about it that has merit is that teen shows these days seem to actually generally have some kind of racial diversity for the most part. So the idea that American Vandal is unique in that regard - specifically with regards to just casting non-white actors and actresses - maybe doesn't entirely hold up.

I think what American Vandal does do well, and this is maybe what OP is responding to, is that it depicts those people in a way that's actually fundamentally pretty realistic, and it has a reasonable amount of diversity in terms of class, background, behavior, etc in a way that a lot of shows don't necessarily. So it feels different compared to a lot of what I've seen, because they feel realistic and nuanced, and I think it makes the diversity more impactful.

What I disagree with in AYRT, I think, is - I don't think that any particular kind of school experience has any kind of normative value. But I think the kind of diversity that we're talking about here probably does represent a common experience in America, probably numerically more common than people who literally have 1 black kid in their school. And it's fundamentally good to represent that, and not just a result of fucking coastal elitism, I mean Christ, what is that.
