I feel like it’s not addressed enough that Lucas is bullied directly because he’s black. The bullies call Dustin “toothless”, they call Mike “frog face”, they call Will “zombie boy”, and it’s heavily implied that they target Lucas because of the colour of his skin. This continues into season 2 with Billy hating his sister even talking to Lucas, and attacking him. It’s a huge signpost to racism, added too by his interracial relationship with Max, and it’s important that it’s talked about. The show did it for a reason.
The bullies called him “midnight” in s1 also.
