I believe that it does offer a positive message to adolescents. Mr. Iglesias is a funny person who we can learn some things from. All throughout the show you see diversity of races and even ages. I think that was practically the goal of the show. This show really helps to portray the obstacles that many kids of color are going through today. Like Marisol is on the verge of being expelled because of her poor attendance. But she is too busy helping with her family's buisness. And this is a very familiar situation with thousands of kids. So I really appreciate that they are giving more attention to people of color, and it's pretty amazing that almost every single lead on Mr. Iglesias is of a different race. I mean Gabriel, Mikey, and Marisol are Latino, Principal Madison, Lorenzo, and Ray are black, Grace is asian; it's just really cool that they cast many different people.
