diff anon here… i get what you’re saying about mark but i can’t help but feel like im catching strays from ncity because i didnt know what the flag was either 🥲 like i grew up in asia and we were never taught anything about the american revolution, i learned about it myself as i grew older but if you asked me to pick out the flag i wouldn’t be able to 🥹 and with everyone calling him dumb af, i feel like im being called dumb too 😔 made me realise as well that we really were taught nothing about america at all
and that's a valid point on your end! i don't expect people to know everything about america. hell, i went to school in the philippines for a while and saw they had the KKK and learned that the KKK (ph) is completely different from the KKK here in america. but i learned!
but the thing is, he has ties to being raised in america and canada, where it is shown and taught about. and even if he "didn't know", the apology was still vague and didn't even address the actual symbol and was just a generic apology. he didn't even come out on his personal account to apologize. it's the lack of accountability that is digging a hole in the ground for mark. it's the way upper room KNEW and SAW what the symbol was after looking it up and still decided to let him wear it.
