2. The Representation

That is right folks, Netflix did it again. In this occasion we count with a extensive list of characters from the Black and Latinix community, who are played by poc (person of color) actors. Yay, not whitewashing! Uh! I almost forgot, we also have characters from the LGBTG+ community. So double “yay!”.
