Oh wait because only white people can be racist.

there are two latinx's on the show, so it is not an all-white cast

I don't mean to be argumentative. But I still don't get how "Latins" or Hispanics are considered non-white. Aren't their roots Spanish? Isn't Spain a European country? How are they not white? And if you want to be technically correct, Italians should be called Latins since Latin was spoken in Italy, not Spain. No one calls Italians non-white.

depends on what your cause is,
if you want to criticize the show for being too white, then they count as white hispanic,
if you want to agitate race relations and muddy the waters, than you say George is white even though he looks like a mexican

If they called it Whiteish it would have been even more popular than it was.
