This show lacks diversity. Most of the characters are heterosexual, white, and middle class. The one exception is Fez, an immigrant and the only person of color on the show. Throughout the show, Fez is portrayed as stupid and as something to laugh at; the backing track laughs after almost everything he says. As far as I know, there are no queer characters, or any mention of queer issues, in these episodes. After some research, I found out that women play an important role in the writing and production of the show. I believe this is why the show does a great job of addressing gender roles and sexism. In conclusion, this show focuses on many aspects, especially gender roles and sexism. While this show could have more diverse characters, it focuses very well on male and female stereotypes. I appreciate that there are many strong female characters who aren't afraid to stand up for themselves and perform in a typically masculine way
