He's alluded to AI rights not being as peachy as presented, especially through Momo's interest in civil rights for AI and though Bubbles' difficult interactions with randos. All of our protagonists are the good guys because a story with bad guys protagonists would be pretty shitty.
There at least doesn't seem to be any violent social upheaval and this town seems to be largely accepting of AI's, with some rough spots, but we don't really know to what extent that maps to the greater culture, or if the synthetic protagonists DO face daily microaggressions but he can't show every single little thing.

Jeph has singled out a few negative reactions, which I suspect is supposed to be representative of the larger picture. Such as the first store where May inquired about employment, and the complaints voiced in the AI support group when Winslow subbed for the regular counselor, and the teenagers calling Bubbles a "freak". But Momo has mentioned that on the whole, the humans she knows and has met are very accepting toward AIs.
You have places like The Horrible Revelation, that has introduced "robot beer" to be more inclusive of the AI population in town, and then on the other hand, you have people like Amanda's girlfriend Evie, who didn't stop to think about how offensive she was to Bubbles, although I suspect she is equally oblivious in how she treats humans. It seemed to me that she views everyone - AIs and humans alike, and possibly even Amanda - as sociology experiments, rather than people.
Is it cold in here?:
We can also guess that the regular cast welcomes diversity more than the average in their surroundings.
