Ariana Grande finally being called on her blackface/appropriation bullshyt

[lamont614]

well if this is directed at me, I'm definitely not poor or feel the need to be grinding away for $$$ every second of the day, what's that lifestyle like fam?

but it's corporate exploitation and racist as fukk; she's a white girl pretending to be "ethnic" to turn a profit <<< now, either that statement is true or false, screaming "who cares" only proves you have no counter argument

No the people that wrote those 4 paragraphs
You just copy and pasted

I see these cancellations and called out all the time it’s starting to be annoying

so please mr -230 in the red, how is a white girl wearing a dark "tan" doing blaccents and urban pop music NOT a modern day minstrelsy

nobody is laughing at your weird ass jokes so save em, just answer the question. if not keep it moving please, trying to have a serious discussion.

Apperantly looking like a stereotypical boricua is the same thing as blackface now

 

[lamont614]

One thing I learned today tho


She ugly without makeup



I def thought she was Latina tho didn’t know she was Italian

 

[the cac mamba]

what a WOAT controversy

 

[Dad]

These clowns have too much time on their hands. So what if she’s trying to look Hispanic? She’s not hurting anyone.

 

[GreatestLaker]

How much of a loser in life do you have to be to care about some stupid shyt like this?

because i know italians that are darker than her, and puerto ricans that are whiter than me

if she changed her name to ariana grandito and started talking like rosie perez i could see how this could be a "controversy" who the hell says she's not allowed to sit in the sun?

All I wanna know is how black people will go on calling out white women for trying to add tan to their photos while simultaneously blaming "white beauty standards" for why they wearing weave, why they put on pounds of makeup a shade lighter than they actually are or why they ugly in general.

 

[AuntAnniesPretzels]

it's exploiting latin/black culture...go look up some of her lyrics; she ain't trying to be taylor swift or bonnie rait

and again, it's all to turn a profit. If she was doing this for shyts and giggles that's one thing

but she has an entire corporate machine behind her,millions of dollars. ALL of this is orchestrated.

if you simply flat out don't care, then say that - but your apathy doesn't = non existent.

Anyone who’s ever been around Italians know they love tanning. Ariana has had no issue telling people straight up her background when asked. Also I’m not in the business of getting offended on behalf of other races. You raising a stink on behalf of these people will only result in them joining white people in saying black people complain too much. Mind your black ass business (which is what I’m and all level headed people are doing)

I def thought she was Latina until I read otherwise. Weird, and she def does Black/Lat”speak”- I’ve seen multiple comments calling her an honorary Black woman, Latina, like get outta here. This doesn’t make me but it’s odd and tiring. Crazy how looking of color is a trend/commodity.

Also to the point abt tans, Snooki, Ronnie, JWoww and those Itals from jersey Shore use just about the same tanning methods and while people call them trashy, they def don’t adopt Black language.

The switch up from white looking to Latina looking for a cover is the most confusing but I’m not sure if that’s the mag or Ariana.

What Latina speak does she use?

To be precise, she uses “Black” speak with a Latina look. I / it because she’s accused of appropriating both cultures.

Nobody outside of tumblr shea butters who can’t find boyfriends and homosexuals who use words like “problematic” care about this dumb shyt. I don’t even like Ariana for her feminist bs and annoying antics but if she wants to spend half her life in a tanning bed , were not brown and it’s not our job or place to get offended on behalf of brown people. If Hispanics want to speak up about it let them do that

Yet another reply that completely ignored the point I made about her urban pop content and her blaccent

You dudes are focusing on her tan and skin, but it’s the hair styles, her broken English lyrics, all of together is bullshyt

If you’re cool with it then say that, but kill that “I don’t see it!” shyt

 

[Gold]

Nobody is mistaking her for black

Brownface breh
Plenty of ppl mistake her for Hispanic.

I'm not saying its a big deal, or that i care personally.

I'm just saying its a thing that she is definitely doing

This has nothing to do with what the OP posted. Do you agree or disagree with the statement? How hard is it to express that based on the posts as opposed to paragraphs about who should care and the extent to which they should and the relationship status of those who do or do not, in fact, care?

And as I stated, the entire Italian cast of Jersey Shore tans- NO ONE thinks they look Hispanic or accuses them of trying to.
