The ninth episode of the acclaimed FX series’ third season is another standalone lesson on race.
At the start of the episode, we’re introduced to the protagonist Aaron in his bedroom, which has Logan Paul merch hanging on the wall to signal that we are in a white youth’s space. Aaron, who’s playing video games on his bed, also appears to be white, but the sound of his voice as he speaks into a headset says otherwise.
When he arrives at his high school, a wealthy, Black benefactor named Robert S. Lee, played by Samuels, shows up to announce that he’ll be paying for all the Black seniors’ college tuition in addition to renaming the school after himself. This is clearly a nod to Robert F. Smith paying off a class of Morehouse graduates’ student debt in 2019 and, later on, a Robert E. Lee joke when we see the way his name appears on the school sign.
When Aaron arrives, a Nigerian student named Felix is also there with a flamethrower after being told he wasn’t Black enough to receive the tuition money. Aaron agrees that he’s not really Black because he has a “culture to pull from” and “country to go back to.” After going back and forth, the two end up chasing each other around the facility with their flamethrowers. Felix eventually makes it to the top of the building to shoot at Aaron below him, but he gets shot by a police officer instead.
