by While she understands that “for the most-part Bluey’s creators don’t view their show through a political lense”, Wang says as a parent of colour she’s “always conscious of the presence – or absence – of diverse representation in kids’ pop culture”.
“We live in a world where the majority of main characters on children’s television are white; where there are more animals than people of colour protagonists populating the pages of children’s books,” she wrote in the piece.
Bluey is an award-winning programme beloved by parents and children that has been praised for its depiction of modern-day families.
Wang’s critique of the show has divided fans on Twitter, with some readers accusing her of politicising a TV series aimed at kids.
“These people are obsessed with pushing their unhinged ideology onto two-year children,” one Twitter user wrote.
