Am I the only one bothered that the order didn't go to a black (FBA/ados) baker? If you know Madagascar history , that may not even be a real black person (from Africa) but a colonizer.
It defeats the purpose of a holiday that celebrates the achievements and struggles of African Americans to give that order to somebody from Madagascar.
I'm even more skeptical that it may not even be a black person from Madagascar given their heavy admixture of dark south Asians and Indonesians. She looks like she comes from the highly bigoted Merina tribe composed of dark skinned Indonesians. Let me remind y'all that these same Asians set up a caste system in Madagascar that actively discriminates against legitimately black Malgasay in Madagascar that came from Africa. The same caste system they used in the past to enslave actual black Africans from mainland Africa as well as the native Africans that were minding their business in the forests of Madagascar before the Asians set up shop.

Merina people - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
Among all the Malagasy ethnicities, the Merina historically have had a highly stratified caste system.[27] The overall society, like many ethnic groups in Africa, had two categories of people, the free locally called the fotsy who had ancestors with Asian Malagasy physiognomy, and the serfs or mainty who had ancestors with African physiognomy mostly captured in other parts of Madagascar.[28][29] However, the fotsy-mainty dichotomy among Merina is not based on physiognomy, states Karen Middleton, but whether they have a family tomb: fotsy have family tomb, mainty are those without one or those who have established a recent tomb.[29] The Merine people were divided into three strata: the Andriana (nobles), the Hova (freemen), and the lowest strata called Andevo (slaves).[30]
Each strata had been then hierarchically subdivided.[8] The Andriana are divided into six sub-strata, each had an inherited occupation, and were endogamous.[30]
The nineteenth century records show that Andevo or slaves were imported blacks
