Guys the racists are so unintentionally hilarious

Someone I know sent me a picture of the back of a book that had Walker Scobel, Leah Jeffries, and Aryan Simhadri on it and said “Have you seen this!” And because of the exclamation point I thought they were just excited to be getting PJO show merch so I responded something like “wow that’s so cool” only to realize I was vastly mistaken because then this person says “I don’t know, they only got Grover right”.

And my mind was so not in that vein that it took me several rereads to even understand what they meant, but also

They didn’t “get Grover right” either. He was very much not a brown boy in the book. He wasn’t black either. But because we got a black Grover in the og movies, everyone seems to forget that. Because it’s okay for the best friend side character to be a person of color, but don’t make the love interest black because she’s supposed to be desirable 🙃

And it’s also funny to me because even if we are just going based on the first movies, Aryan is not black as far as I know. I’m pretty sure he’s Indian-American. But I suppose it’s too much to expect these people to be able to tell the difference between two entirely separate people groups.
