Having watched the first three episodes of Shadow and Bone, which I’ve otherwise really liked, the anti-Shu/anti-Asian racism Alina faces for being biracial is jarring and unnecessary. Frankly, there was no good reason to include it.

Inej gets racist comments, too. It does feel unnecessary, as all of these characters are already socially disadvantaged so people could spit insults about that rather than race. (Overall, I really enjoyed the season, but I also wanted the racism to not be there.)
