It was/is. And it was a pretty good flick
If the trailer had shown a bit of this "racial hypocrisy on both sides" (similar to the PCU trailer from the 90s) then that would help. But it doesn't.
It's the job of the title and trailer to make people want to watch the show/movie. This one failed bigly. Not a melt just an honest assessment of what I just saw.

If they failed to market the show well, the ratings will indicate as such. I imagine they know what they're doing but who knows? I just find people melting over "white people" being in the title to be some of the most delicious and hilarious irony/hypocrisy imaginable (not saying that's you).

The absence of progeny leads one to dismiss existential threats as "stupid shite".
This one Netflix series is like a snowflake. A snowflake in a blizzard that will eventually end the white race if not fought.

It's not, if they really are out to get you.
The evidence is overwhelming if you are wearing the required special glasses to see it.

I think it's pretty rare to have a trailer with more down votes than upvotes on YouTube.

You would be thrown under the jail for making a movie or show titled that.
