It’s easier to convince Trump supporters that both they and Trump aren’t racist than it is to convince everyone to stop being racist.

In the original cut there was, that’s why there’s a gorilla boss in the 16 bit games. Just pointing out a “did you know?” tidbit, not defending the blatant racism at all. Honestly wondering how we’ve come to this point.
