People are just realizing that both of Rita Ora's parents are white, and now she's being accused of 'blackfishing'

The 29-year-old British singer is Albanian but has repeatedly worn Black hairstyles like cornrows and box braids.

I guess first question is Who?

Then it does seem like she tries to black it up a bit.

Then go woke go broke

Isn't assuming someone's race based on physical appearance kinda...racist?

Like how people assume you're Asian whenever you drop your pants?

[TrainedRage]

[jonnyp]

"blackfishing" "deadnaming" - what's the next ridiculous term they will come up with?

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Black people didn't invent cornrows or dreadlocks. This moronic shit needs to stop.

Was just talking to people in WoW who are using particular gear pieces to transmog their Alliance toons to look as much like Horde as possible. They are called in 'hordeface'.

And therein lies the hypocrisy of it all.

 

[Lionel Richie]

[Frito_Pendejo]

[Cunth]

As a Cunth fan, this hurts.

I watched Pete Davidson's comedy special (don't ask why) and the most entertaining part was his bit on Ariana. It was legit funny. He hates her.

That is the only reason I clicked on the thread.

 

[Cybrwzrd]

I think we need to make it so that the different races can only use technology and fashion that is native to their respective homeland. This will make things fair so that no toes are stepped on.

You didn't see the crazy ass resetera type black lady who attacked the white guy for having dreadlocks? I think it was at a college in San Francisco. This is not a new ridiculous thing that retards are getting offended over.

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

Blackfishing? I'm learning stupid new terms all the time.

 

[Manus]

She's so hot.

[jufonuk]

Don't care would smash.

 

[O-N-E]

why

*sigh*

...

Morbid curiousity... I didn't like anything I ever saw of him, but I wanted to see if his stand-up could get at least some laughs out of me. The Ariana bit got at least one or two. Everything else was meh.

 

[Spokker]

I thought it said "Rita Orca Accused of Blackfishing," which made me imagine a beluga whale who got into trouble for pretending to be a killer whale.

 

[TGO]

How have you guys not heard of Rita Ora

 

[Cunth]

It's 2020. Everything matters. Even the most nonsensical things. We're supposed to lose our shit over everything.

Well I've one thing to say to that

 

[Neolombax]

Why on earth is this an issue worth talking about?

 

[teezzy]

[ExpandKong]

All I care about is that I saw her nips when I clicked the link to the story and that was pretty alright.

 

[bitbydeath]

Is that a polite term for black facing or was that term deemed racist and unusable?

Are we going to talk about Black Dicking the real epidemic. It is like when you are watching an adult movie and the girl is pretending its a black cock but its just a black dildo. Should be illegal.

 

[MrA]

Is Albanian.... ... .. . Hitler certainly knew what he was talking about,
but I guess that was the right kind of genocide.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Black people stop straightening your hair that's whitefishing!
Black people stop dying your hair blonde that's whitefishing!
Black people stop using colored contacts that's whitefishing!
Black people stop bleaching your skin and then making a movie about how black is king!

Albanians were genocided by the Turks (the Young Turks specifically). Hitler said no one would remember the Albanians and he was right. Being Albanian provides no victim status despite the group suffering from well, genocide.

Albanian is a nationality not a race though. I think.

She's Italian.

my mistake I was thinking Armenians, though the ottomans certainly oppressed the Albanians rather thoroughly as well.
