History hurts sometimes

This episode deals with the real history of systemic racism in our country and how black and other minorities were kept from building generational wealth. Apparently some folks can't handle reality and history.

Another Dumb Retcon
AnimatedCritic21 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I was hopeful the Neighborhood wouldn't go down the path of changing the entire show just for ratings, but that didn't last. The whole plot with Calvin and Dave being cousins felt like it was shoved in at the last minute, and felt unsatisfying throughout the episode. And then the episode builds up to be this racial prejudice plot the show has done multiple times before, and it just gets old.

Not all is bad. The B-Plot with Gemma's stress was decent, and had some good laughs. I will say that the episode still has some good laughs throughout. I'm also interested to see Tina take up the business of making cupcakes.

Overall, it's a mediocre episode with some good laughs, but the main plot that retcons the show was just distasteful.
