>>116034333Problem with a lot of modern day diversity is that it's a lot of second-generation born immigrants who, culturally, are indistinguishable from an American kid's lifestyle except that their dinners were different and maybe their parents spoke another language around them sometimes. It's no longer the 90's where diversity meant experiencing other cultures, now it just means, "I want a brown protagonist who says they're from (here)".
Anne Boonchuy (Amphibia), Luz Noceda (Owl House), and Marco Diaz (Star Vs) are just generic kid characters except throw in one thing to show off their heritage. Anne cooks some food, Luz says some Spanish, Marco celebrates one Mexican holiday. Their heritage does not have to be a massive part of their character, but it's really insulting that executives think this passes off for "diversity" when all it is is just more American protagonists in cartoons who all act the fucking same.
Victor & Valentino isn't a great show, but at least it's trying to be something different with its fantasy world designs.
