@Sonicdude13 - That is true! I do remember a show on Disney that dealt with bullying before...Can't seem to remember the name right now... Although, all the same, I don't think one time's enough - and there's the fact that this episode has a big focus on cyberbullying, as well, which is a very "today" sorta issue. I do think they need to have more episodes of shows that focus on the other issues you've listed, certainly - and then some.

I agree on both points. People take racism too lightly. Bullying is horrible, true, but being systematically oppressed is much worse, seeing as people of color have to deal with not one kind of of bullying, but also racist bullying much of their lives, and oppression that hits way harder than words or even direct physical action can ever do. And people need to understand that.

Not undermining bullying as an issue at all, however. It's still a very serious issue and we should discuss it as much as we can, and have more episodes like this, as well. Although, we also have a whole mess of other issues we really gotta deal with, too.

But anyway, we are going off-topic here, which is against the rules, apparently. I'm happy to continue the conversation elsewhere, however! :)
