Trivia
In the original drafts, the characters were all human, and Billy was Jewish. When the series was re-edited to be anthros, Billy was made a raccoon. One of the tropes Larson wanted to avoid with the conversion was direct allegory, and a strict predator/prey superiority. Billy becoming a raccoon was done because raccoons come with their own real world stigmas and stereotypes that would require less editing to make work.

Rather than creating direct allegory to race or religion, Larson felt it would be more natural to have more nuanced prejudices based on individual mix. This allows prejudices or stigmas to fit with the worldbuilding, rather than having to twist the worldbuilding to fit allegory.
