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.
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.
I understand that argument, that being said structurally it could be applied to almost anything. I kind of understand the other argument about having to fight for black hairstyles to be accepted in white spaces, but I just can’t see that it does a sufficient amount of harm for it to be worth fighting about.
