I don& #39;t want to ignore what he did and I think people should get to be offended. I& #39;m not going to cancel him though because I think his was mostly youth and ignorance and no hateful intention? still wish he would apologise ofc
also as someone who grew up in a completely different country he might not understand/know the connotations of that word and cultural appropriation. people outside of america/english speaking countries often simply don& #39;t know!! because they never learned american history
I didn& #39;t understand those connotations until I was 16? and I grew up in germany which is also in the west and when I was 16 I was in an advanced english class that we learned african-american history in
not trying to excuse what he did and tell people that they shouldn& #39;t be offended because I& #39;m not black and I don& #39;t get to decide what black people can find offensive or not. just trying to explain from the perspective of someone who grew up outside of the US that it& #39;s probs
more ignorance/lack of knowledge than hate/racism. ofc I can& #39;t speak for everybody but yea
I wish someone would educate him on it :((
