    It makes me so sad to know how hard the cast members had to fight for their voices and accurate + respectful portrayals while filming. I hope these stars know that revealing their struggles with scripts/producers/cultural inaccuracies on set is such a helpful and honorable thing to do. It's clear that these actors are knowledgeable and each have their own impressive paths - I am rooting for you each all the way.

    I'm from across the border in the U.S. I love this show, and their words on the importance of representation are especially meaningful to me, as someone who was born and grew up in the States to an immigrant family. It's incredible how many parallels there are in our experiences. Appa and Ŏmma remind me so much of my parents when I was growing up.

    It kinda makes me a bit jealous that I and my family aren't so talkative and effortlessly witty. I know it's a show of course but it's kind of sad that real life isn't so rose coloured. That's what shows are for I guess, to entertain us and take us out of reality for a while.

When they talk about representation, they probably mean ethnic minorities but really, they’re making immigrants, a part of Canadian historical and national blueprint, feel heard and understood. I am so bummed it got cancelled!

      Also that's awesome that you relate to the show. That's the problem in all our western countries. We lack showing the diversity on screen. Australia is pretty bad at it... But then again they don't know how to do TV for anything other than a crime or soap box crap.
      The main stuff I've seen with more diversity is for hilariously teenager shows of ours. But prime time crap is still the same old white Aussie crap on TV. Give me flavour any time over boring same old, same old. I don't know why the media liked to pretend we are something that we aren't! Especially when, If you aren't native, then we are all immigrants or settlers (so basically immigrants lolol) to begin with.
