You do not get it. No really. The comic is nuanced and maybe people have to live that reality understand, or be willing to accept that some of the strip requires cultural context.

It both highlights the ridiculousness of Huey's position... She IS both and really CANNOT choose and shows what many people think anyway. That you do in fact have to choose. Yet, Huey also is that guy... the one that thinks he's trying to help you love your black heritage.

It also shows Jazmin's frustration with just trying to be who she is and having people tell her that she can't be that while at the same time highlighting how who she is is, in fact, influenced by certain historical issues.


TL;DR: Sometimes Huey is right, sometimes Jazmin is right and none of their arguments would occur if the society they lived in wasn't racist.
