Some people, as they age, learn to accept the world's injustice. Others just learn to fight harder.

It's more realistic to show that "systematic inequality cannot be overturned overnight even if slight improvements have been made." Not a fantasy happily-ever-after ending, because that's how the real world works.
Also, our protagonist actively choosing to refuse to participate in the unfair system at the end despite benefiting from it should have been a clear message that it wasn't something to be accepted.
I hadn't considered her refusal to participate as part of the message before, but you're right! Thanks for sharing that perspective. I had a nagging feeling that I was missing something, and that was it. Excellent job taking such a silly idea and using it to share a serious message, all wrapped up in goofy antics and fun.
