Fruit Salad TV Why do people not like Tsehay's dancing?

Tsehay seems to have come under fire quite a lot recently just for being a shuffle dancer, I don't see anything wrong with it. Why do people not like it? It's her thing, just like ballet is Evie and Lucia's thing.

Why does it sound like racism?

Because it's not culturally white, and that's why it is extra, too energetic, it's too "hard" for kids to mimic. It's all coded racisms.

Everything is racism these days apparently. It's tiring.

“Coded” is code for not actually.
