There are so many racist comments in this thread already directed towards Iggy and her skin colour, the way she speaks, the way she lives her life etc. which are racially driven statements based on her appearance and background.
This whole "you can't be racist to whites" movement needs to STOP. Of course you can. Racism has nothing to do with whether you're in the minority or not. What Azealia said about Iggy IS racist. Calling her an igloo due to her white skin would be no different to someone calling Azealia ashy. One shouldn't cause such offence and the other laughter.

Had to step in to this discussion.
Racism assumes two things - prejudice and POWER. Systemically, ethnic minorities have no power; the Caucasian population does.
What a Black/Latino/Asian person says to a White person can be deeply prejudiced (and wrong), but it truly cannot be RACIST.
