This episode is a sad reminder of the ugliness of racism but it also shows there are many nice people. I learned years ago that those who hate people because of they are different are usually very insecure people and have self-hate.
We still have the problem in 2024 but people speak out more against the hate-filled people.
As far as the episode is concerned, it was a good episode. However, the actress playing the daughter looks too old to be in high school. They did try to make her look younger with the "pre-teen" clothing for the era but it didn't really work. I'm sure it's fair to say that the pool of actresses of Asian descent was even more limited in the 1980's.
