It seems that there was no actual "moral" center in the series, and that is part of the point of the show and the eventual slip into chaos that all characters de-evolved into. The character that Kita plays is a gold-digger, trying to rise up against her low menial job status. She is like a little weasel screeching at the character of Alexandro while she is glued to the landlord's son trying to sleep her way out of her low income status. She actually verbally attacks the "Latino" couple as the landlord's son tries to make a contract. She is not exactly a "moral" center, but considering how low moral standards are portrayed in films and in our culture, being a gold-digger is commonplace. But she is not innocent or moral. It is relative. She represents basic "consumer culture" that aspires to rise up in any way possible (sleeping your way up is one way, and she goes about it). Another consumed-by-consumer culture that this character makes is to scream at her grandmother (the Dominican) that her property is "garbage" shows how much she thinks of her culture, the lower-economic status, and the ability to buy but not be in the haute zone of economics. She turns against her friends immediately when it suits her status-climbing aspirations and turns her wrath of lower-economic status upon the "Latino" couple as soon as she can demonstrate how much she is "in" with the $$. She is in no way a moral center, and again, this behavior is so commonplace that you --the interviewer here--cannot even decipher it or point it out because it's so indelibly ingrained in the corruption of our consumer mentality at the price of throwing away family and friends. I really see that there are absolutely no "moral" centers in any single scene of this series except for a few people who act out of kindness (the woman who lets Dolores use her bathroom, which is an anomaly). She appears embarrassed at her boyfriend's rancor at Dolores--that was one character who showed a kind of moral center but that was pushed aside immediately by her pugilistic boyfriend. The whole show is an indictment of American culture (or global culture) not just on the consumer aspect but in many other tangents.
