[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you need to unclench. No one is saying non-black people can’t play Uno. Just that it’s very common for black people to do so, so common that it’s a cultural touchstone. [/quote]

And that's great. Some of us didn't know that yet; including a Black person.

Funny how only the white people got told how "that's like saying you didn't know pasta is an important part of Italian culture," and literally nothing was said to the Black poster who was unaware of the Black cultural importance. [/quote]

I am the first Black poster. My comment was about nit having heard that it was black-owned or invented by a black personality (turns out it is neither). But I absolutely would identify adults playing Uno frequently and [u]passionately[/u] as a Black thing. [/quote]

I believe you,and that's interesting, and I'm glad to know that now.

What I want to know why this poster was not told "that's like not knowing pasta is part of Italian culture," in a rude tone, as I was:

"I’m Black and I seriously did not know this. We play it often but it never occurred to me, I guess because White people play it too? Unlike spades; I can’t think of anyone I know White that plays spades.

My family will probably “pull my Black card” for not knowing this! 😫😂"[/quote] My white family played spades too.  [/quote]

I know lots of white people who plays spades.[/quote]
