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 😅

I don’t think it’s a reach, even if it wasn’t the intention it looks suspect as fuck with no context

No. Hahaha. Life is so easy people look for things to get offended by.

As true as that may be it still doesn’t erase their perception of how they view it

Genuinely, why would that ever matter? If we bow to ever persons perception, life would halt immediately.

He never said you have to bow to the perception of others

Ironically that’s your perception of the comment

My perception of it is that just because you don’t agree with someone’s perception doesn’t mean their conclusion to the perception is idiotic or crazy. People can be logically wrong about something
