Just WTF? Is this peak clown world? She want's to reduce black characters to stereotypes. Surely this is massively racist and offensive?

If you don't vote for Biden, don't eat Caribbean food and don't have any black friends, you're not black. Even if you are black.

What do you expect form a Diversity Chief? They're inherently closet racists for stereotypes.

Holy shit, for real? You have a smart, vulnerable & complicated character that feels very human but her complaint is, he ain't black enough? Man, this is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard
