Not really. A woman who was sexually assaulted is extremely racist, but these two factors aren’t connected. This experience does humanize the character, but i don’t think her behavior is meant to be excused by this.

A character is deemed mentally ill as a way to discredit her. And maybe not gaslighting per se, but a group of white people dismiss the concerns of people of color as “petty” and “mean”

Meat. Also there’s an off-page character who doesn’t want to eat meat after seeing or reading Charlotte’s Web. Her parents and other adults doubt that she’s serious or will stick with it long

A character drinks excessively and blacks out, and is sexually assaulted. It is ambiguous whether the person who gave her the alcohol encouraged her to drink to excess, or if she was drugged.

God knows how anyone voted no. In chapter 4, page 43, Athena’s book describes a chinese labourer hanging themselves in their captains dugout. the captain then orders the rest of the workers to “hang themselves in their own dugouts if they must”
