I want to apologize if I offended any PoC, I didn’t read the greentext correctly and “basketball American” slipped through. I’ve tried to keep my posts as clean as possible and will continue to do so. It’s entirely my mistake and I’m sorry.

    Nah I see it too. But I’m petty so…

    Edit: what historical context or stereotype does the term “chalk walker” address? None? Oh.

      If you’re trying to offend or denigrate someone based on their skin color, then yes, that’s being racist regardless of historical or stereotype connotations. That’s literally part of the definition of racism.
