The main characters are of Indian heritage and celebrate those roots through prayers/blessings, foods, rituals, and celebrations. A White news anchor jokes that a young Indian-American spelling bee champion is "sweet as a glass of mango lassi." Monica's best friend is Hispanic and her boyfriend is Asian-American. He says his deceased uncle was racist. Sonny was revered by peers as the only athletic Indian-American kid growing up. An Indian-American schoolgirl is bullied by a group of White girls who call her a "dumb brown turd."

Sonny was abused by his father growing up and protected his sister from similar abuse, and he has his own history of violent outbursts. He threatens his sister's boyfriend with a baseball bat as a joke. A female friend of their mother's slaps and yells at them for being selfish and entitled. A schoolgirl is bullied and pushed around, and Monica comes to her rescue by knocking down one of her tormentors and calling her a "pile of s--t." Monica makes reference to a man who molested tween girls at a camp.

Monica calls a male friend from high school "licentious" (promiscuous). They have sex in a car; he's topless. Another time they kiss and it's presumed they slept together when they wake up the next morning and he's lying naked under a blanket (we see his bare bottom). Women admire a man's butt.

Variations of "f--k," "s--t," "ass," "hell," "bitch," "d--k," "friggin," "pissed," "butt," "turd," "fool," "stupid," "God," "Jesus."

Monica smokes joints regularly and shares them with her friends and family members. Her best friend works at a bar, where Monica drinks regularly. There's reference to her friend's past overdose. Sonny's personality changes when he takes medication.
