Ok so this is a cultural misunderstanding, being "colored" means something else in America compared to South Africa.

The same way people in the UK refer to cigarettes as a particular derogatory slur, but then expect Americans to understand that the word "spaz" is offensive.

Personally I just find it funny that she says this when she looks exactly like that Black Ariana Grande meme lol

Then she should stop performing on American tv shows and trying to push her song on American radio

"Can I bum a f*g🚬" is such a crazy UK sentence lmao

"obsessed" is the wrong word, there is a clear history there that you're being ignorant to.

Here's the things she can't claim blackness when she isn't that will be even more damaging this allows her to speak on her coloured heritage and also address the issue of the words contexts elsewhere. The other thing is SA ppl were educating folks about this but they refused to listen then the appropriation saga began turning the entire situation into loud and wrong noise, also centering themselves in a situation that has nothing to do with them, claiming false narratives.

It’s almost like something happened that attributed to that 🤯

One drop rule is a North American phenomenon

I no black papi I South African?

the thing is SA people know and understand that but what needs to understood here is you dont classify someone the way you see them(look at rita ora for example) also that things work different around the world.

She can't claim what she's not. How this has been an issue is so wild.

I lowkey feel like the reason why they want to be called "coloured" instead of Black is because around the world Black people get treated poorly or are looked at negatively, and they don't want to be associated with it.

While yes I can understand why those people want to make the distinction that they are mixed, it just makes me look at the dynamics surrounding colorism and s*** like that.

The organizers shouldnt invite her then its not her that her song is popping off internationally.

400 years in length, perchance?

This lowkey just a thread for people to stroke their American hate boner

Do you think she'll have pressure to follow up her single or she'll be fine

Death to America but his post was stupid lol

i was so shocked and the way that it transcended into so much ridiculousness.

You can’t even engage in convos with them , they won’t listen . It’s a waste of time

this is a double entendre

honestly didnt know that people still use that word but good for her

Was nor expecting 5 paragraphs but you spitting

you’re an idiot btw

Not the same thing at all Coloureds are not just mixed they are a whole ethnicity with their own culture and language from the black masses.

That would be like me calling sum Native American/white biracial in the midwest a Mestizo
