Is it true that such a family with mutual understanding and tolerance appears in modern families?

True, but condensed. The story of Modern Family is set in Los Angeles, so it is a multiracial environment. Spaniards, Europeans and Asians live in harmony. Many of my European friends in L.A. have married Mexican or other Hispanic wives, and many have married China wives. So it is common to have multiple races in a family.

California has always been more tolerant of homosexuality, and San Francisco is a rainbow shrine. Before Modern Family declared same-sex marriage legal, San Francisco had already opened the same-sex marriage registration, which was later stopped by the state government and triggered demonstrations and appeals. So the love between Mickey and Carmen is easier to understand and accept in California. Mickey and Carmen the Clown also reflect the cultural differences between California and the Midwest. It is not uncommon for Mickey and Carmen to adopt Asian children. More commonly, Jay regards his adopted son Manny as himself.

The Dunphy family should be the most ordinary American family. Do you have familiar vision? They are really like growing pains. Hot girl Haley, bookworm Alex, silly boy Luke, plus emotional father Phil and powerful mother Claire.

Of course, it is not easy to find an example where all elements are concentrated in the same big family, so art comes from life and is higher than life. The screenwriter condensed the elements of several Southern California families under one roof: European parents, Hispanic housewives, a standard American family (daughter-in-law), plus a gay/adoptive family (son, son-in-law), European, Asian and Hispanic.

The only surprise is that the parents and adult children I met in Southern California are rarely as close as in the play. Generally, they talk on the phone once a week and meet once every half month to once a month (if they live in the same area). For example, Modern Family seems to be mixed together every day, more like an American family, perhaps influenced by Latin American elements and Asian elements. When Dylan first debuted, a comment also confirmed this point. He said: I have never seen such a strange and tolerant family as you. Crazy, gay and so on together, but understand each other. It is really warm.
