@Chelitam yea that's what irked me, probably why I couldn't get real addicted to it, they basically scavenged for every pale person in the area to focus their story on and a big part of the story is being and becoming comfortable with your sexuality but all of Fiona, Lip and Ian's mains look like them which is qwHite shady
and I really like Fiona but the real aggravating part is if she was black, then she and the show would most likely never got that level of recognition and appreciation
never saw the original though -- maybe the Gallaghers are the only white family in a UK city/town with barely any white people too
