Just because
@Norrin Radd agrees with you doesn't make something objectively racist. Racism isn't determined by consensus or who dislikes the people involved. It's determined by content, context, and the impact it has. Criticism of a Black wrestler isn't automatically racist, especially when it's coming from another Black person. And no, that's not me ignoring the fact that Black people can have internalized bias and project it onto other Black people, but that's clearly not what's going on here because the criticism doesn't reinforce racist language, tropes, or harmful stereotypes. This is just pathetic, petty tribalism.
I'm not here to defend that person or their bad-faith criticism, but you're going to have to do more than "other people think it's racist" to make that case. No offense to
@Norrin Radd.
As far as the defense claim. Can you explain the purpose in you making that comment directly after I made mine?
What? I know you clicked on the link. See, it's these little dishonest things you do to avoid shyt. What does an "angry" reaction signify? And what does a "thumbs up" signify? Why is
@Cattle Mutilation co-signing comments like that then pretending to care about how Black wrestlers are treated? Now, as for the second part - yes, I showed you that post because it's relevant. It's an example of a reductive and dismissive analysis of both Bianca and her fans. It assumes we lack critical judgment and can't rate a wrestler for legitimate reasons beyond race. Worse, it downplays Bianca's talent and accomplishments in an industry that already does that by default. It's bad enough when another Black person says that, but it's worse when a white person co-signs it and butts into conversations they should just observe pretending like they really care.
