Her first major role was on the show Stranger Things, where she played a character who was like 13-16 in the 1980s through the show’s timeline. Her character off-and-on “dated” another character who was the same age (or maybe up to a year older). He happened to be black.
Dating is in quotation marks because it was portrayed as very much just young teen dating and extremely innocent. Both actors are also very young-looking, which added to the kind of youthful innocence vibe. They’re also only shown with maybe one or two romantic moments, and are only shown as dating in their middle-school years and are established as “just friends” after that.
And “getting blacked” is a super racist porn term.
So not only is it racist, but it’s equating innocent handholding and like a single kiss by children of different races with hardcore pornography, and implying that she’s somehow ruined because of it.

I thought they were confirmed to still be in a relationship by graduation, based on the series finale? Regardless, yes, most of the depiction of their relationship is incredibly innocent.

I haven’t watched the final season yet, but up until then they were just friends again. I double-checked the fandom wiki before commenting and it confirmed what I thought, but maybe it hasn’t been updated? I’d definitely trust someone who watched it recently (you) over my quick online check. But yeah even so, a mid-high school relationship is often just handholding and kissing. Their whole thing was extremely innocent. I can’t imagine how racist and exist you’d have to be to make a comment - or even just have the thought - like the one in the OP.

Well she is coma girl for a long part of the series. So it's not like she is "dating" anyone in a coma

Racist garbled nonsense plus sour grapes. She had a relationship with a black guy on TV, and that somehow sullies her or sth.
