PS: As a biracial actress, have you faced any criticisms from being on a show that makes political statements about race?
TER: I haven't. I don't know that our show makes political statements. I think our show does a really good job of [being] an access point for conversation; sometimes about some very big topics.
PS: Will the show be tackling more serious topics, such as the police brutality episode, in the future?
TER: I think we have and we will. That was a very particular, very special [episode] but, you know, our show inherently is a multigenerational, character-driven, family comedy. But we are this black family that is living in current times, and the show is about dealing with race and identity and how you raise your kids in this sort of ever-evolving world, which is extremely current. We're not in the '80s, we're here, we're now. Topics will come up that are real, that we're dealing with. I really trust the writers.
