Bronny James recently went to his senior prom, and a picture of him and his date circulated the internet, Twitter (unsurprisingly) went nuts. In case you were unaware, the son of LeBron James is, in fact, black, but the girl he took to prom was white, which caused some people on Twitter to absolutely erupt.
The comments section of this tweet was where a lot of this went down:
There are some comments that seem genuinely upset that Bronny took a white girl to prom, with people saying things like, “Bronny you can do better than that. Come on. Not a good look,” and, “Shameful. Love yourself and your culture.”
While some of the comments were very disapproving, some were intensely supportive of Bronny’s choice in date. I’m not sure if it’s considered “socially acceptable” or not, but whatever it was, those comments were objectively way more hilarious than any of the other ones:
Now, you might call me crazy here, but it’s my controversial opinion that Bronny didn’t put too much stock into the girl’s race when he asked her to prom. That’s just me, but I have a sneaky feeling he didn’t sit there and say, “Well, I have to take a white girl.” I don’t know. Maybe I’m reaching. Regardless of why he chose to take her to prom, the fact that people care so much about it to the point where it was worth it for me to write this blog is absolutely wild. I took a white girl to prom, where was the Twitter explosion for me?
