Honestly, Fred was always written to be a nice sweet guy that cares about his friends.

[zekethezombie]

I'm pretty sure this show has already somehow managed to offend every race, gender, sexual orientation, culture, belief, age, and occupation on this earth

[VeryAloeVera]

We need to MAKE more characters of different race, not change the ones we already have 💀

[brettbrooks]

Fred was also genuinely smart. Maybe not on Velma's level but it takes considerable intelligence to build the traps he does. Daphne may have been a bit of a damsel but she was caring and a good person. Velma could be snarky but she was never rude. She had banter. Shaggy and Scooby were afraid a lot but they never abandoned their friends. Old-school Scooby-Doo taught kids the value of loyalty and friendship. The characters were a bit stereotypical at times but they always got along and helped each other. Mindy clearly never watched Scooby-Doo and likely only attached the name because no one wanted the Animated Adventures of Mindy Kaling.

I find it funny that they point out that Fred is racist but Velma is the most racist person on the show.

[StarDuckberry]

Don’t let Mindy get her hands on Tom and jerry. NO MATTER WHAT.

The problem isn’t the diversity, it’s that they made the characters either annoying caricatures of their respective ethnicities, or made several of them punching bags, or just general assholes.

I swear, for what I’ve seen Norville is the least annoying “main character” of this show, and I wouldn’t stay in a conversation with this guy for more than 6 minutes.

"It's corporate wokeism!"

i’m 99% sure they made daphne asian because she’s the only character in the main group that knew martial arts. because ONLY asians know martial arts, obviously…

[ashutoshsamrat]

On behalf of the 1.4 billion Indians I must say that we reject acknowledging Velma as our own . Thank you

[seyiselaton]

As an Indian I'd like to say on the behalf of one billion people that we do not claim her

[LenaClaire]

Mindy Kaling successfully united the right and left by making something they would all hate equally

[sanskritisin]

Y'ALL I feel ashamed to be Indian when I watched this show

[LeniconDev]

I hate how they disgraced everyone, especially Fred. Fred is the kindest and most positive character in the show with his brilliant ascot fanboying.

[brokenmask]

I’m convinced mindy hated scooby doo as a kid and now wants everyone else to hate it too

[abacadabra_]

As an Asian person, they did us real dirty with the Daphne scenes 💀💀💀 I don't feel "liberated" or "represented." Mindy Kaling really wrote a bunch of races on a wheel and spun it...honestly what did she expect?

[abbysworld]

Shaggy isn’t even Shaggy anymore, he’s Norville 😂

[mallberrypie]

This show screams racism from all 3 dimensions of the universe
