Painting a racist picture oppressing creativity where there is none.<p>> Other Black developers know there is a struggle behind Nelson’s success.
“Every game company says they want new ideas from Black developers, They’ll talk to you. They’ll say nice things. But they won’t come up with the money.”<p>All developers share this struggle regardless of skin color.

Everyone with weird ideas has to become independent to express themselves. The game engines, libraries, and tools that exist don't discriminate on skin color, so attempting to frame it as such is some weird American racism propaganda.
