It's clear from the get-go that Ginny feels othered at points because she's biracial. From fielding microaggressions from friends to dealing with a white woman who has no idea how to do Black hair at a school event, some scenes are hard to watch.
In general, Ginny has a handful of thoughtful conversations about race, particularly with her boyfriend, Hunter, who is half Chinese. At one point, the pair has a heated discussion about how they often feel like they don't belong because of their race. While they've both fought against different stereotypes in their lives, Hunter says he's not interested in partaking in "the oppression Olympics."
