A man is shot, resulting in brief aftermath sight of a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

The other characters do not approve of these views, and the episode as a whole does not condone discrimination. There are scenes of very mild threat, including brief gun threat. Other issues include scenes of smoking.
