No biggie, is not like black people don't care about being dehumanized and stripped down to a stereotype that white people decided to attach to their race so whenever a black person gets murdered by a white person it can be considered as "self-defence" against a "thug" that probably smoked weed or whenever a black person does something wrong it's because they are from the hood and used to sell drugs even though white people have the nerve to say "every races has it's issues" as a way to dismiss instituonal racism or racist attacks made by white people but those terms don't stop them from attacking black people because even the wealthiest black people are prone to be attacked by white people because of their jealousy like the bombing of Tulsa in 1921 where white people destroyed one of the most successful African-American communities and the white mobs killed around 300 black people.
You're right though, your opinion as a white person who clearly knows the effects of those terms and not even just terms, the fact that a certain type of dressing has been attached to those terms so white people and other brainwashed minorities can easily spot a "thug" and judge them without knowing about their lives , shows that we shouldn't care because everybody is already used to it so we should just swip it under the rug the same way media tries to hide police brutality against POC and queer people.
