.KathleenNB writes: The fact that Bonnie is a Black woman hasn’t been addressed in: - conversations about that time she killed a rich white dude - relation to her parenting a Black daughter - the unraveling of her marriage to the white Bro of Monterey

in these situations, and even the nuance of the detective who is doggedly pursuing the group being another Black woman.In all of Bonnie’s agonizing over the murder, we are never given the indication that Bonnie’s distress has to do with the thought of a Black woman handing over her fate to the justice system in America. In all of the scenes in which Bonnie seems like the Black sheep of the Monterey Five, we’re never told that some of those feelings areshe’s Black.

The reason these Bonnie omissions are even more apparent is because every other character gets the depth Bonnie doesn’t. How many times have they told us Madeline’s deepest insecurity is the fact that she never went to college, or Renata’s is that she grew up poor and has been chasing wealth ever since. Celeste and Jane are bonded by their trauma at the hands of a horrible man. Each of their relationship issues are dissected in detail.

and it wasn’t even in the original script! The lives of Black characters don’t have to be about trauma all the time, but when the entire show is about trauma and complex human dynamics, race has to come in to play. When the character has faced suffering her whole life, to ignore how race factors into that suffering is to ignore Bonnie’s entire existence.
