“It was a Black school, mostly Black and brown, Caribbean, I had Nigerian friends,” Lizzo said. “They were all listening to what was on the radio — Usher, Destiny’s Child, Ludacris — and I was into Radiohead’s ‘OK Computer’. I kept it hidden, even when I was in a rock band, because I didn’t want to be made fun of by my peers — they’d yell, ‘White girl!’”

Lizzo continued: “Also, I was wearing these flared bell-bottoms with embroidery down it — and they’d say, ‘You look like a white girl, why do you want to look like a hippie?’ I wanted to be accepted so bad; not fitting in really hurt.

People aren't allowed to use umbrellas to not get wet?

bro i was young and impressionable, obviously i'm a whole different person now.

you should get bullied for listening to radiohead and this is coming from someone who listens to radiohead

Nobody:

Radiohead stans: "what a privilege it is to listen to the greatest band in human history"

I really doubt it’s bc what music she listened to lmao

I know lol, I'm just surprised that was a thing at your school

That s*** be annoying as hell

I would say it’s the other way around because white people have a higher tolerance for acting weird because they are weirder in general

as youngsters we were worried about the wrong things, such is life.

Yep, I still don't use umbrellas

That's not true lol

I wasn't attacking you!!
