Representations
Gender:
Mostly men, with a small number of women.
Sex:
The society depicted exists in a heterosexual framework, but sexuality itself was not noticed to play a role.
Race & Ethnicity:
'Gyp' used by a character as a term for cheating someone out of something. All characters unmarked, presumed white.
Disability, Physical Diversity and Health:
No mention.
Notes
This one was a lot of fun. Rather farcical overall.
