Taking on the ignorance that only "Afrtican-American" people count as "Black", it's the latest episode of Splash Damage:
Kotaku writer Ian Walker got some flak recently when he falsely claimed in an article that the upcoming Street Fighter 6 would feature the series’ first black woman. We discuss Walker doubling and tripling down on this claim along with Xbox calling out Kotaku’s terrible take on Game Pass, a Halo co-creator criticizing the show, Marvel’s double standard on objectifying characters, Netflix telling woke employees to get lost, and more.

It's the other Ian Walker. Ex Shoryuken, not ex Rock Paper Shotgun.
The Nivans I work with are way blacker then most afros
I think the big thing about the dipshit from Kotaku doubling down boils down to one thing:
Elena, being Kenyan, is "black". Kimberly, being African-American, is "Black". The difference is that the former is just an identifier for her ethnicity, while the latter is a signifier of a political stance and belief system espoused by the woke. Sure, he could have backtracked and they could have edited the article to indicate that she was the first African-American woman in the series, but he didn't, and they didn't, and now he look like even more of a clown-shoe than when he started.
