Since this post is getting a lot of unexpected traction I would like to clarify that I do believe the racial aspect of Claudia's relationship with Louis and Lestat was worth exploring during the seance scene because Claudia experienced mysogynoir and was a woman with a black father who both abused her and was abused by his white partner (also a parent). Claudia's relationship to Louis has an added dimension on the show compared to the book because of their racial ties. While Claudia and Lestat were co-conspirators, Claudia and Louis had to be vary of their white associates together, travel in the back of a bus together, endure the humiliation of segregation together. She textually considered Lestat to be an aggressor who was behaving like a slave owner. To have her acknowledge that in the present day and make her say that she likes Lestat better in the most violently anti-black language to Louis could be an instance of nuanced writing to demonstrate how much Louis let her down despite her loving and trusting him or it could be just written to woobify Lestat. I think it is safe to lean towards the latter interpretation than the former considering the episodes so far.

incredibly sorry for the black writers and directors of the previous two seasons who thought they were building something. I am so sorry that your work was not respected and now dismissed by this new season. I am so sorry that the love and care with which you crafted the characters, especially of Louis and Claudia was so resented that the current writers' room chose to dilute all. I am so sorry that you are having to see the anti blackness in full force on a formerly black led show and everything you worked on- your vision- it was all wiped off. I am so sorry to Jacob and Delainey for having to work with those scripts.
