I'm saying sis, these girls think Iggy is the only one wrong and the only one that's always brought up when these gerls know who they stan for and how they are/what they've said. i could be as pathetic as them and pull up receipts but is aight. As I said they're problem with Iggy is not just this but they use is as a way to downgrade her all the time.

That's ridiculous. As if she doesn't really like or respect rap music, she's just doing it because people wouldn't expect her to and it would get her attention. You obviously don't know anything about her backstory if you're trying to say that. She listened to rap music and she was lower class in Australia, when she moved to Miami at age 16, she was immersed in black culture for real.

It's not as if she grew up listening to Kylie Minogue and ABBA and then started rapping when she was looking for attention. Rap music has been her whole life.

So seeing she as she has grown up with 'black culture', at what point did she think it was okay to make the racial remarks she has about black people, who she has supposedly grown up like?

Oh, and black culture is much bigger than rap/hip hop so...it's as if you are having a hard time understanding the definition of appropriation.

How did she grow up with black culture? She moved to Miami two years from adulthood

Are people still fishing for bullet points or....

FYI, she has 3 songs in the Urban Top 50 and No Mediocre is the Greastest Gainer and will probs go #1.
WE blacks don't have a problem with her, this is not a Macklemore situation.

Obviously since it was opened by a mod who has to close all these kinda threads everyday and has said several times: Don't yall get tired of the same thing? but does the same thing all the time.

Lumping all Asian cultures together as one mass is not helping your case. In fact, it makes your understanding of culture seem even less realized.

Who is lumping them together? That tweet and picture is an example of her going out of her way to make a disrespectful joke regrading a large group of people who's culture she decided to embrace in a video for promotional benefits.

Y'all are mixing up intent with the actual act. Being racist and appropriating a culture isn't always blatant (It's been mentioned in this thread a million times) It's systematic too. And, if I see one more of you guys tell black people what they should/shouldn't be offended by...girl.

Hanging around some black people means you are part of black culture. Didn't you know this?

Judging by the HNIC thread she probably learned it from her African American friends. Can we stop pretending white people are the only people who make ignorant remarks? #teamignant on vine much? Its a people thing.

And please, you don't even know the difference between Asian and south Asian culture. The culture professor schtick is not going to work.

You're still here though, despite being 'tired'.

Please tell me how tweeting about one specific lady in an airplane seat is a joke about a large group of people?

And saying that an Asian lady on a plane represents Indian culture is racist. South Asian =\= Asian. Asia is a very diverse region. It is not one massive culture. Stop it. You're undoing your own argument.

So if thats the case all black people that hang around white people become white-washed?

Who is pretending only white people do this? We are talking about Iggy and only Iggy because that's who the piece is about.



And yes, good thing I didn't claim to know the difference. I claimed appropriation because that's what I see.

What? Apparently you don't know the difference. Nowhere in Iggy's tweet did she specify where the Asian woman was from.

Then stop trying to find fault in Iggy an look at your own views a bit. Its offensive to even combine Japanese and Chinese culturees as one "Asian" culture. Claiming Indian culture falls under that umbrella is even more offensive.

Don't claim to speak for cultures you don't know anything about. Nothing good will come of it, and it completely destroys your credibility to critique anyone else.

[Callisto.]

I just don't see what Iggy does that is offensive. Runaway slave master aside.

When someone in America says Asian, they are generally referring to east Asian, light skinned people. We refer to Indian people as Indian, or South Asian.

Y'all are being obtuse for the sake of it. Trying to connect that tweet and that video is a generalizing, racist mess.

It is actually the disrespectful tone in which she tweeted.

"You gon' know English".

She mocked the fact she possibly did not know the language.

I never said an Asian lady on the plane represented culture. Omg.

It's her disrespectful remarks regarding a certain group of people only to 'embrace' a culture most likely belonging to that group of people so she can look cute and 'different' in a video. When she has blatantly been disrespectful about them behind closed doors, only to use their culture to promote her video.
