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.

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.
