Well they decided to make Dawn Latina for the Netflix show. Which doesn’t surprise me since I believe southern CA has a large Hispanic population. Maybe her dad will be Latino and Sharon would be white since she’s originally from Stoneybrook.

When I saw the first cast picture, I was so confused to who that character was after having the color of Dawn's hair ingrained in my from so many book descriptions lol. But I like that they made the change for the Netflix series. I can't believe it's only a few weeks away now!

Richard's white, which means that Alma was black. If Sharon is Mexican (I believe that is what the Dawn actress is?) then Richard was 2/2 for interracial marriages. The stuffy, conservative white guy is not the one I would have guessed for that. Oh, and maybe that is why Sharon's parents didn't like him back in the day. Cause they didn't want her with a white guy? |

I actually see a sizable Puerto Rican population growing in Stoneybrook today in 2021.
They're mostly moving from New York City...many of them are Jewish as well...perhaps the predominantly Jewish Stoneybrook is finally drawing them there.
I think they were always some Hispanic characters in Stoneybrook, but it wasn't made a huge deal of.

Ricky in the little sister series is Hispanic I believe. Have you watched the new show CNJ? There’s a bigger black community in it.

They shouldn't have changed Logan so much...Logan is blue-eyed, fair-haired and fair-complexioned.
I thought the boy on the graphix cover was another boy, maybe Pete Black.
