The show has like, 8 other episodes that have no mention of stuff like that

But why does a durag bother you in the first place? People have been wearing durags for like, a hundred years.

Not white people, but there isn’t anything inherently bad about it. Not everyone who wears a durag is a criminal. I think this is an effort to show that?

What would you rather name them?

The first user is a gay man who’s always upset & “offended”

Not that serious

While I do get the anger, it’s never actually met with real action. Where are the Black owned animation studios being supported to do things like this? If you’re upset that Disney is the ones doing it that’s fair, but we gotta keep the same energy and support the one in our community doing that work fr.
