I watched the trailer for this and that was more than enough. I am Black. I've been accused of "acting white" or "wanting to be white" my entire life, so I fail to see the humor in this. Sure there are activities that are heavily associated with white people- like colonization and genocide. But I can't think of a single activitiy that a white American has done that a Black American has not. This narrative perpetuates harmful stereotypes and gatekeeping. It's also hard to tell whether it was intended for Black consumption or White consumption- either way, they're laughing AT us not WITH us. And white people are angry at this because they think it paints them in a negative light when really it just perpetuates this notion that white people have hobbies and fascinations that Black people don't have the capacity to understand and appreciate. As a scholar I'm very disappointed to see this in 2021.
