I don't really think your post needed that edit but ok sweetie. Whatever really, it's all about love

[This Is Acting]

Zendaya is black???

[Frogger17]

I'm black and I think Zendaya is exaggerating the situation, like she did with that patchouli oil debacle. Every incident she's in just happens to keep her name in the news, and no, EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE of a black person being disrespected is not racism. Just like racists will try to demonize every little action that black people make, so too do these militant black people who see racism in everything. They're doing more to harm the BLM movement and equal rights than the racists, destroying the movement from the inside.

Yeah this is clearly for attention because no one has even uttered her name in months. A shame really.

I love how she says, "This is how we are treated!", while she gets in her luxury car with her over-the-limit gift card of $400 that's against the policies of the grocery store.

Not to discount her but clerks/anyone can treat people like **** everywhere. It's not always race related. Unless the clerk said, "You're black, no card for you!", then I fail to see how this is racist? There's not even any hint at why it would be because she's black. Feelings aren't facts. Zendaya thinks she is being a "voice" but all she does is create more tension, like this entire thread

I was training some new hires today and one of the customers heard the guy was Latin and said, "I'm not through to America, am I?" and then let out a big sigh. That's racist, pure and simple. This? It's hearsay. A judge would throw this case out in two seconds.



That happens the world over, girl. Nobody lives in utopia. It's annoying as ****, but hey...

I'm kinda torn on this. I don't want to challenge her saying that since I wasn't there and didn't witness it, and situations like that should be given attention to because its simply unacceptable in our world. But awful employees and customer service do exist with race not being a factor. I've heard (and experienced) so many instances of awfully rude employees, cashiers, waiters etc, and it just comes down to them being rude and giving bad customer service. Zendaya was trying to do something against store policy and didn't seem to understand why she couldn't do it, and the store even made an exception for her because she didn't get it.

This girl is fake and too much.

[BlazingLovatic]

Her friend screaming in the background and trying to sound sassy is so embarrassing.

I thought Zendaya was a sensible girl, but judging from this + her friend, it seems not...

[Artemisia]

It's legitimately distressing how Zendaya speaking on the racism she experiences exasperates a lot of you.

[6_INCH_HEELS]

Its frustrating that anytime a POC deals with rude, unprofessional people, their first thought is racism.

Because there's not a rare instance in which a rude, unprofessional asshole is just that- a rude professional asshole.

Such is the state of race relations in the US.

[Nialler]

She's always exaggerating and desperate to get some media attention

[FutureHive]

Black Lena Dunham???

Remember that thread about ATRL being racist getting immediately closed? Yeah

This Embarrassing.

Zendaya sounds extra af and her story doesn't add up at all Why did she hand her wallet to a store employee in the first place? Literally who does that? Secondly, if she indeed doesn't lie for those "woke" points she's mainly known of, how did she assume the incident happened because of her skin color? I am white in a country that is 99.9% white and we have assholes in customer services too.

So you have literally zero insight on what Zendaya claims to have experienced here

I heard about black people being awfully mistreated by customer service in shops due to skin color in the US. But her story just doesn't add up. Really. Have you ever handed your wallet to a store employee? It doesn't really make any sense, along with her forced "extra" attitude in snaps.

And Zendaya doesn't really look black. Back in the day when I was watching her with my younger sister on Shake It Up, I thought she was from India.

Black, Indian whatever -- still under the category of a PoC/WoC thus has a greater chance of facing racial discrimination

[Bey_Rihstan]

Omg Zendaya is obviously mixed/black what the hell is wrong with some of you. I'll never understand how people can't obviously tell if a person is of Mixed Race.

Never understood when people said they couldn't tell Mariah was mixed in the 90's.
