According to the same article it was because she was mostly in white private schools; from high school on she was around mostly POC and didn't have any white friends until the HBO show's writers room.

She never said Lawrence was written to be trash, just that people who defend him when he fucks up are kinda telling on themselves

Ive got beef with the general maturity of some of the behaviors vs the age(the cum controversy would be an issue at 20, not 30), but to say the show doesn't ring true *shrug*
