As a casual reader, I honestly don't really care about the changing (or not) of skin colour. I am neither white nor coloured. The first thing I actually thought about when I heard of this issue is, "the people of the internet are not going to be happy", which kinda says something about how much they influence storytelling nowadays. It is funny how western audience expect their values to be projected by everyone around the world. I'm saying western because they are the majority of users on Twitter that are very vocal. Sure, we have common values like equality, respecting everyone but some nuances that are not shared between countries shouldn't be forced onto other cultures just because that's what they think is right. Is it not a type of injustice to force your values onto others?
I do acknowledge racism and inequality are big issues and should be addressed by all, before anyone accuse me of ignorance. I have experience verbal abuse just because I looked different while abroad.
Just for this series, I kinda turn my brain off just because it's so cheesy.
I'm not calling out anyone, just found it interesting when US constitutional rights were mentioned, how does it apply when the internet is pretty global. Like, can I also invoke it when I'm from halfway across the world from the US? I guess not? Of course, where I'm from we still have free speech and all that good stuff.
