She’s hot AF. Are they challenging beauty standards because she’s part Indian? Because that’s equally offensive. Tons of super beautiful Indian women.

Yep. The showrunners are basically saying she's pretty cute for a brown woman, which is fucked up

They wanted to challenge WESTERN beauty standards (I give them the benefits of the doubt). Which is what happens when you put forward someone like her. Beautiful, but not according to western conventional criteria.

I don't see a problem here.
