There are, however, other slurs towards minorities; native Alaskans are sometimes called the E- word, the G-slur is used, and native Alaskans of mixed race have been called half-breeds

Shelly is 18 at the beginning of season one, is part of an ongoing relationship with a man in his sixties, and was formerly involved with a different man of that same age. Both of these relationships were started (with the later finished) appx. 1.5 years before the start of the show; while Shelly was 17 or even 16.

There are several stereotypical depictions of native Alaskans as shamans/mystics/supernaturally in touch with nature. It should be noted that many other native Alaskan characters are not depicted in this way and are treated normally. it's a mixed bag

Joel is Jewish, and Chris is ordained as nondenominational christian, these two faiths, as well as native American spirituality, are frequently brought up, but do not proselytize to the audience.

The characters break the wall to prevent a gunfight which had seemingly no resolution. All characters involved acknowledge the existence of an audience, a writing team, and the upcoming scenes. This is the only such occurance

Not actually on the show itself, but on a show that the entire bar is watching when Shelley gets a satellite dish for their TV; there’s a show on that’s obviously touring China, and is showing distressed cats in cages. Chris then makes one of his stupid pseudo-philosophical statements in regard to different cultures and their eating habits when someone mentions “I don’t think those cats are pets…” or something. Thanks, guys, now I get to picture that poor terrified b&a guy in a cage awaiting slaughter.
I skip the entire episode as it’s annoying anyway.

it does not actually happen, but Holling considers getting a circumcision as an adult; there is talk of stitches and the involved surgical procedure, as well as a nightmare of a botched job where more than the foreskin is removed by accident
