Lalonders admitted to race-based hiring discrimination during a presentation for the Game Devs of Color Expo 2021 that was recently brought to the public’s attention after Lalonders defended Sweet Baby Inc. and admitted she is “a racist.”
During the presentation Lalonders stated, “ValiDate has a team of all people of color. We have no white people on our team. I did that because I wanted to create a safe environment. And I know the best way for the environment to be safe is to be around people who are just like me.”
“And I’m not saying that white people in the industry are creating unsafe environments. I’m not saying that. That is not what I’m saying,” she said. “I’m saying sometimes it is hard to work with white people because they think that something may be okay, but it was really a microaggression, and no one wants to deal with that while you’re trying to make a game that they love.”
As noted above Lalonders’ comments were brought to attention when she accused gamers of discrimination, but then admitted she was “a racist” while attempting to defend Sweet Baby Inc. Lalonders also worked for Sweet Baby Inc. between October 2022 and May 2023.
On March 7th, she endorsed discrimination against white people, especially those who did not align themselves with the organization Black Lives Matter.

She then admitted to being a racist in a response to Rileyman1080, Lalonders responded, “Yeah im racist so what now?”

Lalonders then spouted the bizarre theory that it is impossible to discriminate against white people, while also endorsing discrimination against white people.

Anderson defended Lalonders apparent discrimination in a posting on X, stating that if the roles were reversed and a white person were to only hire white personnel it would not be the same level of discrimination. “If the power imbalances that actually exist in reality were different, sure, but there is no way these things are equivalent.”
He added, “This is, of course ignoring that white men start studios that are all or mostly white men all of the time and no one cares.”

Anderson then justified the race-based discrimination writing, “Worst case scenario this is a result of trauma, not a desire for exclusion and definitely not supremacy. Context is completely ignored in all of these discussions. This is a valid self preservation tactic for Black people, not a way to gain power over others.”

What do you make of Anderson’s defense of Lalonder’s race-based discrimination practices?
another race baiting POS, he will fail in gaming along with the rest of those WOKES…
Victim blacks like him will never take responsibility or acknowledge the fault of one of their own.
Same thing with whites! Go figure!
