What We Think

Ronny Chieng: International Student has some multicultural elements and identity humor, but keeps a fairly light and broad comedic touch. While the show is diverse, it doesn’t aggressively push ideology or subvert tradition, making it only moderately woke by modern standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show follows Ronny’s experiences as an international student, with identity playing a role but not overtaking character-driven humor. While multicultural elements are present, the focus remains on comedic situations and relatable struggles, without overwhelming ideological signaling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional values are not particularly subverted or targeted. Religion, masculinity, or family are not mocked or held up for ridicule, the show is mostly about college life from Ronny’s unique perspective, rather than being a grand statement on Western culture.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s a clear nod to multiculturalism, but alternative worldviews aren’t overtly demonized. While it embraces diversity, it doesn’t go so far as to punish or caricature more traditional or local perspectives.
