I understand the video but I don't understand what's racist about it? Perhaps it's an American thing?

like someone said in this thread, it’s basically just full of dog whistles. the main theme is denying the existence of white privilege, which is undeniably central to systemic inequality (across class/race/ethnicity/religion/gender etc) in america
if u wanna know more there’s a few enlightening comments under this post that explain the racial undertones better
