Reception
editWriting in Screen Hub Raelee Lancaster gave it four stars. She writes "The humour in All My Friends Are Racist comes from the series’ ability to lean into the absurd while remaining incredibly self-aware. It doesn’t take itself seriously, poking fun at both itself and its audience."[3] Glen Humphries of the Canberra Times says "every single character who appears is a figure of fun. No one is off-limits. It's all quite outrageous - and very funny."[4]
