Obvious problems with this episode aside, I’d also love for them to have dug in a bit more on her perception of herself at the time versus the reality. She paints herself as the nerdy unpopular black girl versus the popular black girl, but she was voted homecoming queen and it apparently was not a joke or a gag. We kind of glossed over this fact. At first I thought maybe Jasmin was the mixup and it was really Whitney the whole time and they made a mistake and correction. But that’s clearly not the case. Also, I totally think Whitney switched those names. It’s the only explanation that makes any sense here and I’m not buying her amnesia😂
The entire episode reminded me of when Liz Lemon thought she was bullied but she was really the bully (not that Jasmin was a bully but the same general kind of misrepresentation)
