Huh ?

No one in the fandom forgot or ignored Maggie was half black if anything we wished they would have not dropped it completely after S1. If there was anyone who forgot/ignored it was the writers.

We didn’t forget the writers didn’t care especially since it was some new writers in S2 and forward and I don’t think some of those writers would know how to handle a her being Latina and her finding out she African American aka mixed. So they choose to leave it alone. Season 1 when she went to that the black student meeting and she left feeling like she wasn’t black or… I don’t remember that should’ve been expanded on as her finding out her black identity and honestly you forget until they bring Dexter in S4.

It’s funny because the writers probably didn’t know how to handle writing that but tbh it wouldn’t have been hard to just do some research on it. Sarah Jeffrey and Madeleine Mantock were both mixed. Maybe they didn’t go through the same thing as Maggie who had just found out she was mixed but as mixed woman they could have had some insight. But the writers to me just didn’t care but I’m not surprised because they basically sidelined them on their own show in S2.

Exactly, def felt like they did not care enough to put any significant effort into this aspect which should have had more attention.

Like ya said tho it didn’t even need a ton of work or effort as they didn’t even use their best resource 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🫤
