But it’s the 19 year old black girl by herself packaging orders whilst studying that is publicly ripped to shreds. I don’t like it.

If things go wrong, of course you are entitled to make a complaint. My point here is publicly ripping small black owned businesses to shreds (whilst telling everyone that it’s black owned to add fuel to the fire) is the problem.
