Bows Eltern Paul und Alicia lebten in einer Hippie-Kommune – bis diese von den Behörden geschlossen wurde und sich das Elternpaar gezwungen sah, in einen Vorort zu ziehen. Mit Hilfe von Bows Großvater (Gary Cole) landete die Familie halbwegs auf den Füßen. Doch für Bow und ihre Geschwister bring das neue Leben allerlei Sorgen mit sich – etwa der Besuch einer Schule, wo sie weder zu den „Weißen“ noch zu den „Schwarzen“ gehören.
In mixed-ish, Rainbow Johnson recounts her experience growing up in a mixed-race family in the '80s and the constant dilemmas they had to face over whether to assimilate or stay true to themselves. Bow's parents Paul and Alicia decide to move from a hippie commune to the suburbs to better provide for their family. As her parents struggle with the challenges of their new life, Bow and her siblings navigate a mainstream school in which they're perceived as neither black nor white. This family's experiences illuminate the challenges of finding one's own identity when the rest of the world can't decide where you belong.
