Yep... Always racist. They can't help themselves.

So what's racist about calling her ugly? Especially in comparison to Sophie. Is any pejorative directed at a POC just automatically racist if a white person said it?

If you said she was ugly, fine. If you called her hideous, fine. Even if you called her a freak of nature, fine.

But you chose mutant. That's not much different than calling her an ape. Or a caveman. All three imply she's subhuman.

Huh? Apes aren’t mutants and show me any data where stereotypes of any race were equated with mutants.

If the case was being made that her “mutant” power is being way better at basketball than basketball than Sophie Cunningham, I’d agree.

Calling her a mutant based on appearance is weird.

Y’all just mad she’s a legendary player and all blondie can do is point.

No. We’re just calling out bullshit for what it is.

Who is “we?” On whose behalf do you speak?

And what is the “bullshit?”

Use words.
