The funny thing is, Bones is often quite culturally sensitive compared to other characters, and the show has varied wildly on how she reacts to certain things. She thinks religion (all religion, any religion) is utter bunk, and half the time treats it as ridiculous, and half the time treats it as an important part of the background culture they are plowing through in a given episode.

Yeah, they are wonky as hell about race, but the actual cast - wow. There aren't actually a lot of other popular shows with three full-time, major female characters (and two supporting) who are either scientists or work closely with them (and two of them are POC and one of those is the boss).
