Well, you should note that it's an Aussie show - and over here "crackers" is a word purely used for a kind of food. Hah! Fair enough. Though I kinda thought 'crackers don't matter' was one of the themes of season 1 - it is like the rest of the crew has not even *heard* of white male privilege or something!
(There are at least two Aborigines in the show - but no Asians I can think of, unfortunately.) Oh? Crais is one, right? Who else? (I'm only about half way through, so I may not have met them yet)
It's a shame that it's such a very white-people show. Shows I like should do better at this stuff, dammit! Word. I'm rather suspicious of a universe where populations can be *any* colour on the spectrum as long as it isn't brown.
