Role reversal

If you had a tour or reenactment somewhere like a former plantation where black people got to be in the role of the masters, and white people in the role of slaves, you at least wouldn't have the same controversy and threats about shutting down or defunding something that has been around for a long time (and is loved by many people) and is intended to be educational or enjoyable and not hateful or abusive. Something as simple as reversing a few roles to give people a different view of the past than the same one they always have been shown would still teach people the same thing about history, but without confining one group of people into a pigeonhole, which doesn't make them feel welcome there. If that's not good enough for them, they can always go somewhere else, though it's unlikely they will find anywhere that will satisfy their demands if that isn't good enough.
The park went with a role reversal and white people started protesting about the tour being racist and threatening to defund the programs while black people appreciated just having a park to go to where they could opt to go on a tour or not go on a tour, since there was a bunch of shit to do there and a day at the park is usually a good day no matter what shade of skin you have. Hopefully it wouldn't take a bunch of cops that looked like gangbangers shooting unarmed white people for white cops to understand that it's not a good idea to shoot any unarmed civilians, no matter their shade of skin, even if you think the law will always be on your side no matter what you try to do, because then there would only be a lot more violence on all sides than there already is, and it could happen since anything is possible.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
