Racism doesn’t change the skin color of the recipient, however.

Kamala Harris is factually Black, and she is factually South-East Asian. Your perception of her skin tone means nothing.

Colorism is a pretty old form of racism - typically perpetrated inter-culturally / within the same ethnicity, or more recently by white supremacists to categorize minorities or other white ethnicities - which tries to define someone as definitively outside of a ethnic group they factually belong to.

Krikzz is also based on Ukraine, and they make flashcarts for old consoles called “Everdrive.” They’re a staple in the retro gaming, retro modding, and homebrew communities.

I have a 5.1 as well, and I use software normalization (Plex and through my Shield) to fix it. I know there’s a way to tune it via hardware, but my setup is an ancient Yamaha receiver and I prefer the software normalization.

Mixing can be a mixed bag, as everyone uses different hardware to master their sound, but normalization or boosting center fixes it 99% of the time.

It’s because they’re mixing dialogue for the center channel speaker. Most people don’t have a center channel on their TV or sound bar, but some "Dialogue Mode"s will exclusively play the center channel and drown out the sound effects. It’s a trade off, but one that most manufacturers don’t even give the option for.
