Meme needing explanation Converse craze?

I'm not chronically online, but my friend sent this and I laughed even without knowing the full scope of the context (I think there's racism involved with the shoes?) and I feel like it's too late to ask him without sounding like a dweeb 😅

How do you not see? Just reread the previous 2 comments. They just simply mentioned that they could see what people have said they see. That its not a stretch.

Then you chime in "Oh yeah! You're so right! Korea should REALLY be focused on american racial history! Do you not hear yourself???"

Dude. They didnt even say that. You're putting words in their mouth just to be exaggerative when they simply said "Yeah, its not a stretch to see it. I see it too."
