Why is building a wall racist?

To be clear, the administration is making racist arcade games (e.g., a Tetris knock-off about the Mexican border that portrays Mexicans as literal aliens and zombies), not causing other people to make their arcade games racist.

Isn't the goal of tetris to not build the wall!?!? EDIT: good lord this is cringe, it doesn't even clear lines when you complete them. It's impossible to not get a game-over because the screen fills up regardless of whether or not you play well. Not that I was ever expecting quality from Donald Trump's vibecode boomer-meme slop but I thought they could at least bother to correctly implement the simplest and most recognizable video game of all time, especially since it's going on whitehouse.gov.

These games are toxic and dark, and would be moderated on a marketplace like Steam. And Steam has fair share of dark games.
