I don’t even know how this is controversial. There’s a uniqueness to her game - no one disputes that - but she’s also white and looks and acts like them.

Maybe I'm just not so cynical to believe that many children need to see somebody that looks like them to be a fan. I'm a Cuban/white that grew up watching MJ, my childhood idol. Me and just about every white or non-black kid i grew up with wanted to "be like Mike". All I needed to feel like Mike was a jersey and some shoes. I didn't tell my parents that I needed blackface to be MJ.
Pure projection.
Also, being half Hispanic doesn't change anything, cuck.
