It’s established at one point that Freddy’s father left the family (possibly because his wife was abusive to him too) and Sam’s father is unaccounted for. Carly’s also raised by Spencer due to their father being in the military (the sequel series later established that their mother abanonded them)

In iGetPranky we see a flashback of young spencer in school, he pranks a bunch of his classmates by making garlic powder fall on them, he intended to make their heads smell funny but it gets in their eyes. We see them crying and saying "It burns!"

LOTS of "hobo" jokes, they have a "hobo" themed party in one episode.
In the episode iScreamOnHalloween, there is a group of children dressed up in Halloween costumes. One little girl is wearing an "Indian" costume and another girl is wearing a "Chinese" costume, I think she's white and she wears eyeliner to look Asian. This is arguably racist.
