I just feel really sad for zoey. Her friends outright called her unattractive

[SerialDesignationaN]

They ain’t just a fake friend to Penny they are a fake friend to each other I felt bad for Zoey here

[KelShu]

I feel bad for Zoey in this episode, for her it wasn't about her skin color, it was about a boy showing interest in her; and the moment it happens her friends start hating on her, bad mouthing her behind her back, dissociates with her, and makes her feel like no guy would want to go out with her. I get why they are upset, but they didn't have to take it out on Zoey the way they did.

[jordanlaplante]

I'm confused so they're mad at the guy for having a preference to a type of girl that he likes but they were also willing to cheat on their boyfriends to be with a guy that they like.

[LarryXLR]

Damn. They really did turn poor Zoey into a racial punching bag in this new series.

[yesikanarvaez]

Still how they reacted and treated Zoey who wasn't trying to hurt anyone

[ShiningSpecks]

All this proved to me is that Zoey and deserves better friends along with the two boys deserving better girlfriends.

[briasinterlude]

I also think it’s ironic how the show wants to tackle colorism, even though it’s been accused of perpetuating it in the past. I believe the only reason why Zoey was demonize was because the main character, Penny, and La Cienega would usually benefit from colorism.

[briasinterlude]

This episode completely missed the mark for me. Yes, colorism is important to discuss, but the episode implies that Zoey is so unattractive that a conventionally handsome guy could only like her because of her race. Especially at the end where she only has Myron to dance with. There were also other white girls in the crowd, in the school, but the guy went straight to Zoey. Just poor execution.

On another note, Penny and Djonay are terrible girlfriends lol.

[FlyyGirl]

Her friends were being super thirsty, pick-me’s, throwing themselves at that boy who wasn’t even checking for them. Their egos were popped lol

[AniDex]

My only issue is that they pulled the "lol you should be suspicious he asked YOU out because NO ONE ever asks YOU out lololololololol" card, and quite honestly? It's 2023; that joke needs to be left in the 90's.

[yanderefangirl]

This was painful to watch, but I did like that Myron asked Zoey to dance with him. And he reassured her that he finds her intelligence attractive, not her white skin.

[BloodySkullx]

What I dislike most about the episode was how Zoey's friends responded to the situation, with hate. You know I've been watching this show since it first aired way back when and I've always known that these 'friends' aren't really friends. Yet they try to convince you they are but as soon as something breaks the status quoe they instantly jump on each other, I've heard arguments about it being more realistic and I just wonder what type of friends people had when they were growing up because I dropped people that were like LaCienega, Dijonay, Maya, ect. No one should settle for friends like these. Even Penny has her own problems but at least she's likeable!

Especially characters like Michael (and Maya) who's supposed to be the gay inclusive but acts like a diva stereotype and then they dress him up as Pocahontas? Indigenous communities have been trying to get Disney to stop using Pocahontas for decades and it's honestly a slap in the face.

I like that they want to cover topics like this but the characters all suck, the message is muddled and isn't clear what exactly the problem was. I'm not saying they can't have the others hate on Zoey for what is clear miscommunication, but the problem is that they made it 'her' problem when she didn't even understand what the problem was. Because shes the 'white' girl, she can't possibly understand anything even if we try to explain it to her in a round about way instead of just outright saying why it's a problem that the guy only likes white girls. They just dumped her like they didn't care at all. They didn't even apologize! I get what they were going for but the episode missed and was messy.

[plushy]

This episode was HORRIBLE, they took out their anger on Zoey who can't control that she's white and only went off of the rumors, nothing was conformed from him until she said he did admit it at the table scene. I do agree that they were just jealous and going off of rumors and took it out on Zoey. LaCienega implies at the conflict scene at the princess party that Zoey cannot get a date at all and that really hurts. Zoey has never had a chance to shine and find a love of her own, she's just some "ugly" girl in the friend group. I feel that Zoey could have found out the colorism on her own instead of her friends shunning her out of the friend group and hurting her for something she has no control over. This episode was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE AND IT MAKES ME SO MAD. Made the woman the villain as always.

[Kardel_VA]

They treated Zoey so badly that it was down right heart wrenching. The girls acted so selfish, notnto mention the disrespect to their own boyfriends.

[hannahdavis]

The lack of communication or trying to get Zoey to understand and just tearing her down is what really bugs me. I get it, people get really frustrated with having to explain things but at the same time it's incredibly difficult to actually rectify the situation when you legitimately don't understand what's going on and all you're getting is hate from it making it even worse and putting you on the defensive. Especially since Zoey is already the punching bag at times and from her point of view, it probably felt like someone liked her for her.

[jasminecarter]

Now I’m a black girl who mainly has a preference for white guys but I’ve dated other races before too and honestly I see what they were trying to go for but they missed the mark. There’s a difference between having a preference and just not messin with a whole race entirely. They did zoey dirty in this episode and she should have called them out and dropped the group. Poor girl ain’t even know there was an issue and they went for her head! Two of them already got boyfriends so they shouldn’t have gotten twisted in the first place over the wrong thing!

[Lab-Grwn-Lambs]

I was kinda confused why they were so mad at *Zoey* right off the bat, because Zoey wasn't even there for the initial "he only dates white girls" conversation. Like, as soon as she heard about it at the party and had time to cool off from the fight she dropped him immediately after confronting him about it. I feel like they shoulda had Zoey actually hear Maya's original comment about Noah's colourism, then choosing not to believe it. They acted like she should have *known* he'd only be into her because she's white, because.... She's obviously not desirable for any other reason? That's actually just horrible. I liked the episode and the themes a lot, the way they took is so seriously, the acting, the realistic conflict... All great stuff! But the way they treated Zoey as the bad guy rather than Noah didn't really sit right. (also what the fuck, poor Kareem?? Like are they dating or *not* jeez lmao)

[Danny_Does_Drawings]

Zoe made a good point about Myron. The only reason they got upset over Noah was because he was conventionally attractive. If Myron had the same reasons I doubt they would have taken it so personally. Noah is definitely shallow but they really did Zoe dirty.

[funandlala]

A great storyline would've been Zoey dating the boy and gradually becoming disgusted by the way he speaks about black girls and realizing he's incredibly shallow and superficial and doesn't like her for her personality just her skin. He would probably make Zoe really uncomfortable with his comments towards her friends and she'd grow from the situation when she's has enough of his colorist views. The episode should've never been attempted if they were going to handle the situation so horribly. In the end, The POC just seemed jealous by directing their anger towards the wrong person and Zoey ended up apologizing even though she was mostly kept out of the loop. :(
