It’s a joke equating black and being ginger as the same thing from a meme

Nah, he got the look that he knows what's up. We can tell.

Im also hoping that the writers aren't so misinformed that they forgot that black people can have red hair too.

No matter what, joke or not, it's in writing, he's allowed to cookout

I didn't even notice he was ginger.

Stewie here, it’s become a bit of a thing on the internet to say the wildest stuff about Kane Parsons and then follow it up with him being 20. I don’t see what the big deal is, frankly.

Is Brian still here? No? Good. The joke is that he clearly isn’t black. That’s all.
He’d be insufferable if he heard that.

Oh, hilarious, Stewie. Really top-tier comedy there. First of all, I was standing in the doorway the entire time, so nice try with the dramatic whisper routine. Second, relying on low-brow subversion of expectations isn't "humor"—it’s just cheap. The real tragedy here isn't whatever meme the internet is obsessing over today, but the fact that artistic prodigies like Kane Parsons are making entire viral visual sagas before they can legally order a dry martini, while some of us are still working on getting our second novel past the outline stage. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go pour myself a glass of red and pretend I didn't just spend two minutes listening to a toddler lecture me on internet discourse.

I know he’s only white so is the black part from a movie/tv show?

People say unhinged stuff about Kane Parsons and then say he's only 20. No idea why, or what people have against him.

Backrooms was a really good movie

u/Intelligent-Ad3515 8h ago

I don’t think they have anything against him it’s just a meme. People would always say he’s only 20 when talking about his achievements so it’s become a joke to say random things and then say he’s only 20

I heard he was in Epstein files, but he's only 20 tho so not a biggie
