Dear White People... says the character that is bi-racial (the character, not the actress).
Lighten up guys, it's supposed to be a comedy series. Right up to the point that they go off the rails, and turn this into a strictly white-bashing "political" narrative, this has the potential for some clever humor aimed at both sides of the divide.

If it follows the same story/character arc as the movie, buy the end the obnoxious black girl realizes she's as big (if not bigger) a racist as all these white crackers she hates on and condescends to through the production.
