As a teacher, I have to correct micro aggressions that are very accurately presented in this episode. It's an excellent way to blend humor and an actually needed message.

Nuanced and very serious

Warning: Spoilers
I've started watching PEN15, and Posh really gets into the heart of racist stereotypes in the context of the Spice Girls and ethnic identity. The episode isn't for everyone, and it can deal with hurtful themes, but PEN15 isn't afraid to deal with it.

Didactic entertainment is very hard to pull off. When it's successful it's thrilling, challenging and engaging. This episode feels more like an After School Special - albeit a creative one.
This series consistently succeeds at being insanely funny, while seamlessly incorporating references to the particular challenges facing teen girls, and offering a diverse cast, and never feels heavy handed. Until this episode.
If I was rating an After School Special-type program, I'd probably give it a 7 or 8.
