* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Gail has a borderline obsession with the MysticalIndia stereotype; she themes the school dance around Bollywood cliches (and in an early scene complains that they didn't pick something more "American" before being reminded it was her idea) and she has a live-in spiritual guru who, unbeknownst to her, is actually an Italian-Indian actor; she just saw an Indian man with a stereotypical accent (which he faked) and automatically assumed he was a guru, and he went along with it.

* TokenBlackFriend: Mickey has no real role outside of being Luke's best friend and being the reason he keeps getting audition offers in the bathroom. Angela serves a similar role, though she's Asian rather than black (and she doubles as the fairy godmother figure when it comes to getting Katie to the dance).
