Renamed one trope.
* QuestionableCasting: The odd casting choice (at least physically) of Nikesh Patel as Aafrin Dalal who is a Parsi. The darker-skinned Nikesh portraying the Parsi Aafrin is odd, as the Parsi people are very fair/white skinned due to their Persian and Iranian descent and do not have darker skin. Made especially strange as it is implied that the Dalal family in the show stuck to their own kind and only married among people of their own community for generations.

Kaiser and Cynthia as well, though both pairs can actually be counted as being a {{Crack Ship}} since the former have no interaction as of Season 1 (and Leena does ''not'' think highly of Ralph), while the latter would be impossible considering Cynthia's racist views.

* {{Moral Event Horizon}}: Ralph crosses it big time in the season 1 final episode when he calmly lets Ramu Sood take the blame and be executed for Jaya's murder, despite knowing Sood to be innocent. It's telling that afterwards Aafrin confides to Alice that he should never have trusted him to begin with. Cynthia has crossed this time and time again, but most notably in her dealings with Jaya: when she left the pregnant girl alone in the village to be mistreated by the locals and to keep her away from Ralph. Ironically, both become quite a bit more sympathetic in the second season, and they're both saints compared to Charlie, who crosses it with his abuse of his wife Alice or, if not that, his attempt to [[MurderTheHypotenuse have a treason charge hung on Aafrin for getting too familiar with her]].
* {{The Scrappy}}: Sarah Raworth is this for a lot of people who watched the show, with comments varying from what her husband was smoking when he married her to wondering if she has some serious mental problem.
