Racist Algorithm
My boyfriend and I were sitting in bed when we decided to try a trend on TikTok. We took a picture of ourselves to see which TikTok sound or song would be chosen for us. When my boyfriend, who is Black, took his turn, the sound that came up was an extremely racist audio clip that repeatedly used the N-word in various forms. It was incredibly off-putting and ended up ruining our night. It makes me wonder who is using this sound and when it became acceptable to be so casually racist. Is this what we can expect from the new generation of humor among Gen Z?
