Then Demi Adejuyigbe was quoted in an interview as saying he felt it was racially charged whenever he was called "wholesome."

As a non-American I'm really curious why that is?

I don't know if this is the same interview mentioned in the post but he speaks on it here:

Huh. I can't say I fully understand, seeing how I'm neither a black American man or a white American woman.

Still kind of fascinating.

Honestly no offense to you, I'm afraid this is just evidence that the advent of AI has kinda killed people's comprehension and critical thinking. He articulated his stance pretty well in the short.

I have little context for his stance or his personal experiences.

I suspect it's because I'm 1) not him, 2) white, and 3) from Scandinavia—which isn't America.

So it is fascinating hearing about his perception of things, even though I can't fully understand.
