She's obviously a bigot and it's right to call her out on it. Saying that she shouldn't be calling other people slurs or generalizing White people isn't the same as getting mad at the existence of Black characters or Black content creators.

I do want to bring up an interesting point that she makes though. Crazy people often speak truths that normal people are too polite to bring up. She's right when she says that studios shouldn't be able to tote around cartoon and video game characters for Black History Month if they're not voiced by Black actors.

I'm all for casting the right VA over having ethnicity-specific casting. But you shouldn't be able to celebrate a Black character as a Black character if a White guy is voicing them and collecting their paycheck for them.

Conversely, I think it would be absolutely fair to celebrate Black actors behind characters who are not canonically Black. James Avery as the Shredder, James Earl Jones as Darth Vader, or Roscoe Lee Browne from 90s Spider-Man. I'm sure there are more modern examples. They're just some of the ones that I grew up with and know by heart.
