It is now a bannable offense. I think the real reason is that they too are fed up with the meme and are sick of seeing it in the site. I mean, it's perfectly reasonable to mistake it as racist. Roblox just hasn't done the research. The source of the "racist" part of it is coming from a Ugandan movie, and the creators at Wakaliwood are going along with it. I don't think it'd be supported by them if it was damaging or insulting to their culture. It's most likely it's a preemptive step just to protect kids from something they think is bad, though if they want to get serious then they can stop approving inappropriate images from anime onto the site...
