It’s mainly targeted towards white men dancing. It originates from a couple different stereotypes.

Basically, almost every time I have seen it used it was to demean someone who is white.

I see it as patronizing especially when used for a white person doing a dance that looks objectively bad.

So if someone kills a white person solely for the color of their skin it’s not an act of racism?
