History YMMV / Gentefied

** Sometimes with ''Series/OnMyBlock'' which doesn't shy away from issues facing the Latin and African-American communities. Both have "woke" characters but also has a light-hearted slice of life theme that manages to show the characters as complex and sympathetic while still being kids.

** Chris' family and co-workers. They continuously treat Chris like a race traitor for not speaking proper Spanish, not growing up in the neighbourhood, and just having different aspiration than the others (ignoring the fact that it was his father who purposely moved the family to a middle-class area in the mostly White Idaho when Chris was very young). In short, they come off as hypocritical [[{{Hypocrite}} for viewing white people as closed-minded racists, while they keep their own people under microscopes, always ready to jump on one of their own for not being a "Latino enough"]].

* AcceptableTargets:
** White people, big time. For good measure, every white character on the show so far has been portrayed as either a two-dimensional, angry racist with little to no redeeming qualities, or has a [[FauxAffablyEvil seemingly friendly personality that only serves to mask their true intentions of harming minority communities]]. This was a turnoff even for some Latino viewers on social media, who found it hypocritical on part of the creators who are huge proponents for anti-racism; other fans justify this as "reverse/revenge stereotyping", whereby white people would be subjected to the same treatment that they have been giving to minorities in majority white shows for decades.
** The Central Valley town of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakersfield,_California Bakersfield]], easily compared to [[Series/ParksAndRecreation Pawnee]], which makes sense since [[https://www.turnto23.com/news/local-news/bakersfield-native-creates-new-netflix-series-gentefied Marvin Lemus]] (one of the creators) is from the town.

** This doesn't help when they insult their Latino landlord in the first episode with "coconut" and other phrases. One can see why they'd be angry that a member of their own community would hurt them financially but insulting your landlord, who has power to evict you? TooDumbToLive.
