* CaptainObviousAesop: The story is very unsubtle and never shuts up about the difficulties faced by immigrants and the racism that follows.
** Krel and Aja are ''literal'' aliens (and even then, "aliens" are considered an offensive slur) who wind up in the sleepy American town of Arcadia as refugees when their planet suffers a coup. The normally stoic and heartless Señor Uhl becomes protective of them when he finds out (though he thinks they come from a foreign country) and vows to protect them, becoming hostile to people who single out Krel and Aja for their foreign-ness or use the term "illegal aliens", implying that he himself has faced such discrimination before.
** Krel's human form was deliberately designed to make him appear as a "Latino" because the data collected by the ship's AI believed that people care the least about them, with various characters like Seamus' father and Birdy[[note]]Who was really a bounty hunter in disguise[[/note]] implying that "someone like him" would not have the mathematic skills that he does without cheating.
** In "Ill Gotten Gains", Krel and Aja's human friends chase Area 49B away by threatening to record Kubritz' xenophobic statements on their phones and make them go viral on social media if she doesn't leave Aja and Krel alone, a popular technique that minorities and their allies use to defend themselves from bigots with authority.

* WhatAnIdiot: Considering that Seamus's father was being outwardly racist towards Krei and implying that a brown-skinned kid new to the country couldn't be good at math, he has no leg to stand on for accusing him of cheating. Therefore, Senor Uhl should have said as much since comments like that in real life can lead to rather controversial court cases. Instead, he and Miss Janeth agree to humor Seamus's father and have the boys participate in a math duel. Varvatos himself comes off as the most reasonable one when he threatens to skin Seamus to get new curtain drapes since he takes none of the nonsense.

%%* AuthorsSavingThrow: In the previous series, Claire's mom, as soon as she finds out Trolls exist, wants to warn the mayor about the impending apocalypse underneath Acadia because the mayor has a duty to protect the city, and the people of Arcadia should know they're in danger. However, the Trollhunters talk her out of it because if the masquerade breaks, then the Trollmarket refugees and the humans of Arcadia will be imperiled by this sudden change in status quo, especially with Gunmar on the way and humans lacking the necessary firepower, [[StrawmanHasAPoint despite the very good points Mrs. Nuñez brought up about getting as much help as they could to fight Gunmar and Morgana]].
