As someone said before, one of the teachers could be black, or any other race besides white.
But Enter is too afraid of offend anyone with any slightly hint at a stereotype.
 
Enter doesn't have the capacity to be racist, I think.

He just directs all of his spite at Spongebob writers instead.

Come to think of it, not just gays, but people who literally identify in a way or live a lifestyle that makes children essentially impossible as a whole, man does the universe hate them.

You would think that since Enter's asexual, he'd be able to notice this glaring flaw.

This explains why so many attempts to add diversity to cartoons fail.

Writing a character who doesn't share your ethnicity, gender, or sexuality can be difficult, especially if you lack real life experience with similar people. It can feel like if you make your character too much of a stereotype people will accuse you of an -ism, but if you don't make them enough of a stereotype you'll be accused of misrepresentation. Depending on the setting or medium you're working with you can sometimes get away with not having a lot of diversity.

But in a family cartoon set during modern times? Hah, nope. If a major network did for some reason accept his pitch solving the diversity problem would probably be their first demand.
 
Well, you know that Enter bases this show on his very limited experience with the world. He doesn't get out a lot (He doesn't even have a driver's license.), so it's highly unlikely that he's seen much more than Chicopee. Massachusetts is one of the whitest states in the country, so black people probably don't cross his path very often.

All that aside, he shouldn't be forced to include non-whites in his work just because they will feel "underrepresented". Anyway, I'm done playing Devil's advocate. Let's move on, eh?
