The vibes are RANCID! It's obviously a YA romance and the male romantic lead is blatantly racist and xenophobic from jump. It seems like it's a "but will he stop being racist once he's attracted to a brown girl?" vibes. And I hate that shit big time. 

It's not her job to "rehabilitate" him. I'm not joking, that's a straight quote from one of the B characters to the MC. 

I can just tell this romance is not for me, it's giving neo ned. When the romantic conflict is one of the partners being racist, you can count my big ass out.
