The conclusion I’ve come to is that it’s a fallacy of binary rounding, which results from individual unique minds absorbing and processing a near-infinite amount of discrete information and trying to make sense of it; a “0.4999...” gets rounded down to “0" for one person, and “1" for another.

I don’t think anyone is pretending all complaints are racially motivated. There can be legitimate complaints. The problem is the people who claim they are part of a fandom but really have no affiliation complaining about pushing a “PC agenda”. Same can be said for "fans" complaining about Jodie Whittaker in Doctor…
This right here is a problematic mindset. Sometimes its important to trust people when they say the have experienced things you are not the target of.

“She says I didn’t live in my apartment building because majority of people who live there are white,” Rashad says in a screen captured message.
People in a public place have no expectation of privacy in that public place.
Why are people from Michigan such reprehensible assholes?
Why is it the least a white man can do is listen? It’s always a passive action with them, then they get to go on forgetting about it all.
I just hope he steps back from underage girls.
Pretty much. It’s basically the same position as Philip, who you never see anymore.
We already do that: It’s called The Clapback Mailbag.
Set up a few stands at popular tourist destinations around the country, and you’re set for life.
Can The Root please start a section called: The Dumbest Shit You’ll Hear From White People This Week? I mean this may make into the dumbass hall of fame. I mean did these unseasoned, latte drinking, yoga pants wearing, Kid Rock listening MAGA chuds partake in this thinking this was supposed to be a pleasant…
