Honest question ? Do you need to be Afro American to get the most of this show?!

I am Franco Irish and I grew up with the original. I watched it dubbed in French and in English once I moved to Ireland at age 12. Although I was a French kid growing up in the 90’s in France and Ireland I easily could relate to the life of that American kid growing up in the 60’s/70’s . His relationships with his friends and family were so easy to relate to . Also Kevin was so flawed , like a real kid and he often put himself in awkward predicament that also connected with me. Now, I went into that new Wonder Years REALLY ready to it but 6 episodes in and I am starting to feel that this show really is written for a specific audience and I do not mean it in a bad way at all. Maybe African Americans could not relate to the original Wonder Years at all and I am happy they now have a version they can see themselves in. They might have felt the Arnold Family impossible to relate to, for all I know. Personally me I do not feel like the writers of the reboot are interested in a mixed audience, it is really written to explore the African Americans experience of that time. As an example , in the last episode the kid asked his dad to join his Friend Scout troop and I was thinking it was going to be interesting to explore his relationship with his white friend whom so far had barely anything to do but instead the episode was about the Father dead set against his son mixing with white people and about them creating an all black scout troop instead . It was a call back to the first episode when the dad was against his son playing baseball with white kids . It is personally Hard for me to warm up to a family who keeps talking about not wanting to mix with white people. The only white character in this show is merely a token character so far and often the episode is about the family wanting to stay inside their own community. I understand that reflect the time it was set in but because the show as such an heavy emphasis on racial divide as a European I do not feel connected to that show at all like I was to the original. The original show was about relationships not about race . You could be from all walks of life and there was something with the original you could connect to but this one is really heavy on the racial issues. Again , I do not think this is a bad show. That is not what a I am saying. The actors are all great , it is well directed . It just do not have as much universal appeal as the original . I am happy for the ones who loves this show and I hope it will be renewed for them but me, I am just going to give it a couple more episode to see if it grows on me but if not I still have the original to enjoy. P.S That is just MY opinion , I am speaking about my own feeling towards that show . I am sure a lot of white people enjoy it as well. Just me , personally I feel the writers do not have someone like me as a target audience.
