The racist undertones are mostly just that several of the first episodes feature the 'enemy' as a person of color, against a team whose only non-white member is Melinda May. Take any one of them on their own, it isn't a particularly big or noticeable issue, but altogether it is a bit discomforting. However, it does do a pretty good job of emphasizing that more often than not, they are more victims of their circumstances rather than evil people, and over time you do see more characters of color in other positions, and one of the original POC antagonists even comes back as a leading protagonist with agency and a great story line (that's also a bit of a cliffie at the moment...). :) So if you really do plan to stick it out, don't worry about it too much, it gets better. :D

FYI - Skye/Chloe Bennet is bi-racial.

[nyxelestia]

1.) Wait, really? How so/what's her ethnic background.

2.) Mixed feelings...I mean, on one hand, no one is really presented as being part of any race, but at the same time she looks very white and there's little indication she is meant to be anything other than white. On the other hand, it's great that the actress is even partially POC. Hm...

[astridv]

She's Chinese-American afaik.
Here's Chloe in a Chinese pop video. ;)

re 2), the [spoiler] reveal in the latest ep strongly implies that Skye is part Chinese as well.

[nyxelestia]

Oooh...she's actually pretty good in that video. Chinese and English versions.

And I hope this plays into Skye's backstory on the show. :D
