Netflix's Adolescence is being attacked for race-swapping. Here's the fact

India Today  

Adolescence is powerful, it is simply brilliant. "Jack Thorne created and wrote Adolescence on Netflix, where the murderer was race-swapped from a black migrant teen to a young conservative English boy," wrote an X user who identified as a Catholic, MAGA-Hulk and attorney at law. "Adolescence just came out and a real-life black murderer is portrayed as an innocent white child," wrote another person, adding, "This isn’t sloppy casting or woke cluelessness. He alleged that Adolescence was based on "a British knife killer who stabbed a girl to death on a bus and it’s based on real life cases such as the Southport murderer". "Those who focus on the boy's race in Adolescence are overlooking the core message of the series," wrote a person on X.
