Explain it to me. Maybe I just don’t understand it yet.

the consumerism of Black culture by white people. This is one of the overachieving themes of the season and the main theme of the episode. The boy was raised by a Black nanny and he seems interested in Black culture like we see him watching The Proud Family and he genuinely doesn't feel out of place on her funeral, his dad listens to hardcore rap, his mom watches a Black woman doing a make up tutorial and she comes to the funeral with hoop earrings and a Teflar bag. and still, there is some type of hesitation from the parents' side. we see his mom discussing if they should immerse the kid into the Chinese culture because it's "relevant" now. and that's why Chet Hanks is in the episode, he basically is an extreme example of what the kid would grow into.
relations between capitalism and Black people. Basically every episode of the season is about it one way or another. But in Trini 2 Da Bone we see that the nanny basically had to abandon her own kids so she could earn money by working for white family.

That's honestly one of my favorite episodes of season 3. I have a goddaughter that has a nanny and it just kinda hit with me a little.
