Why do African Americans where those childish backpacks with Spiderman, Dora the explorer, etc?

There are lots of them at my school, I was wondering why they wear such baby backpacks?

I’ve never seen any black people where I live doing that. Maybe just a silly trend in your town. I remember back in the 90’s they hung pacifiers around their necks and I thought it was ridiculous. But I think every race and person makes a bad fashion choice at one point or the next. You grow up and you change.

Maybe you should go up to one of them and ask. Let me know -lol

Here’s a thought, I know when I was in school, some kids thought it was too dorky to carry their backpacks or folders around, so they’d bring those flimsy pee-chee folders and roll them up. Maybe they think that by wearing childish backpacks it’s kind of the same thing. Like if you have to carry a bunch of books around, might as well make a joke out of it. Like "I don’t need to wear a big backpack because I’m not a nerd, so instead I’ll wear this kid’s backpack because I don’t take school serious"

    I asked one of my black friends before, and she didn’t know either.

    Not just them, everyone.
    People just think they’re cool.
