So basically, animal crossing added hairdos from black culture, and white people put them on their character in game, and people are genuinely going nuts about it.

IDK, I am African and have exactly the kind of hair that you can make into those hairstyles (but I don’t because I don’t care enough about my appearance), and I don’t think it’s that big of an issue to apply it to a video game character and swap it out.

Everyone has a different experience, are you African in a predominately black culture or a white one?

Like I said everyone has a different experience, and how racism exists within a culture and becomes internalized depends on how and where people grew up and who they interacted with. As I said in a different comment, I imagine this was someone trying to give some education about systemic racism to gamers, which then got blown up because, well gamers.
