Removal of ethnic speculation[edit]

In this edit I removed the speculation about various characters' ethnicities. For starters, the labels were unsourced, which is already problematic. How do we know that Lemonjella and Orangejella are African-American and not, say, Dominican-Canadian? Secondly, there's this thing that some people do unconsciously when they write about people different than them: they tend not to mention what they perceive as "normal", and focus instead on what they perceive as "different". In this case, the only people who had any attention drawn to their suspected ethnicities, were the (allegedly) Latino, Asian-American and African-American characters. This creates a subtle ethnic bias that all the beige-skinned people are regular, and all the others are different. Unless ethnicity is a significant part of the series, these labels don't belong in the article. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 08:00, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Detention on iTunes![edit]

Hey, everyone! I just found out that all 13 episodes of Detention have been released on the iTunes Store today! Should we add this information on the article?
