ELI5: Why did the Dilbert guy turn racist?

It's not accurate to say that the Dilbert turned racist. Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, has been accused of making racist and controversial statements, but he has not identified as a racist.

In recent years, Adams has been criticized for comments he's made on social media about race, gender, and politics. Some of these comments have been perceived as insensitive or offensive by some people. For example, he has made comments about the IQs of different races and has suggested that women are not fit for leadership positions.

Adams has defended his statements, arguing that he is simply expressing his opinions and engaging in provocative discourse. However, his comments have led to backlash from some fans and critics, and some have called for a boycott of his work.

It's important to note that while Adams has made controversial statements, it's not accurate to say that he is a racist or that he has turned racist. It's also important to consider the impact of his statements and the ways in which they contribute to harmful stereotypes and discriminatory attitudes.
