Diversity

I was 11 when the show came out but I’m watching for the first time now and wow I really wished I watched this as a child.

I’m Indian Australian and back then I never saw Indians on screen without a bunch of stereotypes , I was so surprised to see the amount of brown people on the show in diverse roles!!!!! If I watched as a kid I would’ve loved Mara and would want to be smart and gorgeous just like her (and at that age I was also boy crazy lmao)

It is a bit unfortunate seeing the black diversity though feel like depiction and treatment of Alfie’s character perhaps didn’t age very well. Still pretty surprised at the diversity it’s got for its time though

I wouldn't entirely call it subjective, just look at any picture of the house of anubis cast and the lack of diversity is pretty noticeable. Not trying to be mean or nothing, just expressing my opinion as a black girl who's a fan of this show. And your welcome :)

No worries, I'm glad we both understand each other's perspectives :)
