Primary
The series maintains a neutral stance by focusing on the universal, apolitical struggles and humor of a working-class family, emphasizing resilience and unity without explicitly promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies or systemic structures.
The movie features a predominantly white, mainstream cast, consistent with a traditional American family sitcom, and does not include explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative centers on the relatable experiences of a traditional, nuclear, lower-middle-class family, portraying these identities in a neutral to positive light without explicit critique or central DEI themes.
Secondary
