Started watching #kobraKai - Less than 3 minutes in and Johnny's character is throwing racist comments at his Latino neighbor. Is there a point to this? Because the "Racist white guy who eventually reforms" is a really tired trope I don't care to invest my limited TV time in
Finished 1st #kobraKai episode. Johnny is an angry white guy spouting racist one liners at a teenage Hispanic neighbor (Miguel) who for some reason doesn't tell him to kick rocks or cuss him out. Then this same kid accepts help from this old racist because ? Plot convenience?
#kobraKai isn't TERRIBLE but the lone Hispanic and African American (the nurse) characters in the 1st episode are repeatedly yelled at and disparaged. I guess I'm supposed to stick with Johnny until he learns the error of his ways? Maybe EP2 is better
