We got through the line at the store, walked them through the…

Yea, that wasn’t cool... some of us are obnoxious.
If I was a white person I would find this really offensive. This logic implies that white people (that what “wide/largest audience” means) won’t identify with a person of color as the lead. I’ve heard this argument several times and I honestly wonder if white people realize that they’re arguing that white people can’t…
