This was suggested to me by another user in the current big thread about this. I haven't finished watching it yet. It's from Poddy Mouth, a black creator. Apparently the video has perspectives from black people with Tourette's included. Might be valuable in this moment.
This is a (very short, < 5 minutes) video from a black elected official with Tourette's. He takes the position that an acknowledgement or apology is necessary. I think this was before the subsequent statement mentioned in the video linked in the post title was made (the following day), so I don't know if that statement would meet the standard this person had in mind for addressing the harm caused.
As I said in my other comments, I don't have the energy right now to really engage with this discussion further, and I don't want to accidentally cause harm by doing so. I just thought this video also belonged in this thread. Also as I said, if you have other such videos please do post them in this thread or in their own post.
Edit: this video, similar to the one linked in the post title, I got from a comment by another user in the previous thread.
I have been asked by another user to include the following info in the post body, which might be relevant to the discussion.
i think you should link this article directly from the guy with tourettes in the post: https://archive.is/GS647
this bit in particular would be helpful i think
Since the fallout, Davidson’s team shares that he’s reached out to the studio handling “Sinners” in order to directly apologize to Jordan, Lindo and production designer Hannah Beachler.
It has been pointed out that the discussions that happened on this post can be hard to follow for people who did not see prior posts discussing this subject. I think I wanted to avoid encouraging directly transferring the arguments from prior posts, but that was probably ridiculous to think. I have added them below.

Thank you so much for the in-depth explanation! That was what I was going for with my questions, and I truly appreciate you sharing this. I'm also somewhat glad I brought that explanation back from when you were 9, if that makes sense? But just in general, I'm really glad you shared this and gave me/us a little glimpse into your lived experience with Tourette's.
While you make it sound like it's not as bad as your ADHD, I can still imagine Tourette's presenting you with issues that people without wouldn't encounter. I am however glad you seem comfortable with it, which makes your explanation almost comfy to read. But since I mentioned it, is there anything you wished people knew/understood about Tourette's that they usually don't? And maybe as less intense questions, are their outside factors that can make tics worse or better for you? I read anxiety is one part that impacts Tourette's immensely, so I was curious how you see it.
