The problem isn't they are jerks, its that they are oblivious cartoonish jerks. The only motivation they appear to have for their wanton racism, excessive violence, and aggressive bullying is just to do it. Its a closed system, unaffected by the presense of other students or teachers, its simply being a prick for the sake of being a prick, and that makes them unrelatable and uninteresting.

Perhaps down the line they can make his attempts at bullying mean something. Maybe he wants to be the hero and be lavished by awe for his daring. Maybe he wants to vent his own frustrations by catching students unaware and harassing them. Basically give him a reason for why he wants to bully, and then giving him the smarts to avoid getting caught.

They could even make them more relatable by showing one of the characters to be secretly racist themselves. Juane for example, might not think Fauna are bad, but he still feels uncomfortable and even somewhat hostile towards them. It would be a gray area for him to sort though, a ugly part of his nature ties him to Carlin, a facet the bully wears with pride. Granted I would like to see more from Carlin before that, but we'll see what happens.
