That's where a lot of people fuck up. It's why they get so defensive when somebody points these things out. Nobody really means it, they're just duuuuumb lol

I'm not giving anyone a pass for being dumb, so I hope you didn't read it that way. Willful ignorance might be less of a crime than blatant racism, but it's still a shameful thing to do. Anyway it's not up to the video's creators to decide if it's offensive; it's up to the people watching it. It is, however, up to the creators to decide if they want to learn from what others find offensive about it or not. We'll see, but I wouldn't bet my paycheck on it.

nah, of course not bruh. It just is what it is, haha. It's why I've had to filter a lot of these types of instances into the "lol, fuckin of course" part of my brain because it gets tiring. I think I'm just ambivalent at this point, is what I'm getting at.
