re: Caleb McLaughlin says racism in the ‘Stranger Things’ fandom ‘definitely affected me’

quote:

“Some people told me, ‘I didn’t wanna be in your line because you were mean to [Millie Bobby Brown‘s character] Eleven.’ Even now, some people don’t follow me, don’t support me because I’m Black.”

So is it because he's black or becuase his character was mean to the main character?

He quite literally says what they told him and then denies that's the reason. Makes no sense
