Love on the Spectrum star Kaelynn Partlow was involved in a huge racism controversy, so what exactly happened?<\/p>\n
Kaelynn was previously called out by fellow autistic creators for seemingly \u201cdeliberately\u201d mispronouncing newly elected New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s name on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n
She also came under fire following a video made by her mother about Anne Frank. During the video, Kaelynn\u2019s mother said how she and Kaelynn had just visited the Anne Frank museum, with Kaelynn finding out for the first time that Anne Frank was dead.<\/p>\n
Her mum explained that when they first read the story of Anne Frank they \u201cleft out the part about how Anne Frank died\u201d, with Kaelynn saying that she thought Anne Frank was \u201cstill alive.\u201d<\/p>\n
This video in particular caused a lot of controversy for Kaelynn Partlow as numerous creators and psychological professors called out the Love on the Spectrum star for being \u201cuneducated.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n@dr_inna<\/a> <\/p>\n I will not be infantilizing @Kaelynn who is shown that she has the ability to comprehend all this, and who has recently responded inappropriately to criticism from autistic people of color. Perhaps the parenting by @Kaelynns_Mom is to blame for this behavior, but Kaelynn is an adult now. An adult who presents herself as an advocate and has speaking engagements all over the U.S., and yet thinks this is ok. I\u2019ve had big feelings as a child myself, so did my kids. And I have them now. Pretending racism, antisemitism, ableism and more do not harm people isn\u2019t the way to handle feelings. <\/p>\n
