"Wednesday" was criticized for racial discrimination, and all black people played bad guys

Netflix's new series "Wednesday" has become a hit on the Internet, breaking Netflix's single-week broadcast time record and becoming the most-watched English series in Netflix's history in the first week. However, a tall tree attracts the wind. This real-life series directed by Tim Burton has been labeled "racist" by some people.

The reason is that some people think that the black girl Joy Sunday in the play "Wednesday" plays a somewhat mean character, and the black boy Marson is a bully and is also the son of a corrupt mayor, who is of course also black.

Additionally, the mayor of the show is the owner of "Pilgrim's World," a place that celebrates the pilgrims and colonists.

It is worth mentioning that in the Wednesday episode, the characters played by Joy Sunday and Marson are not real villains, and they are both whitewashed in the end. The real villains in the show are all white.

In response, a representative for Tim Burton said: "I would not forward such a stupid comment request to Tim."
