    Can people like you maybe read a little further down the thread, like i literally explained in detail why that comment is completely ridiculous and i don’t understand how someone could take it as a serious comment.

    Its literally a joke.

      Yes, I read it before. No, it didn’t change much. Where’s the joke, what’s funny about this?

      On the other hand, too many people write these comments seriously, which is enough reason to counter them.

      It’s downplaying the climate crisis and normalizing racism. You can insist it was done in a lighthearted way, but that’s not so relevant.
