I know that what happened to michael is proof the white cishet man can die too. But, although he wasn't perfect, michael was everything the white love interest should be? He cared deeply about Jane's background (those spanish vows were the most romantic thing ever said in a tv wedding). He used his privilege to help her family (he stopped abuela being deported like 3 times). When he was called out he changed his behaviour (remember in chapter two/three when michael said he was "glad to be the male presence in house meetings" and jane said "that's not going to go well in our meetings" and Michael was just like "I'm glad to be invited???"). And how even though he behaved appallingly when he first found out jane was pregnant by the end he considered mateo his own son (he and jane always talked about having "another kid" cos they already had mateo???). Overall michael was just a great guy and I wish more cishet white male love interests were as good as him.
