Why do obvious white models choose to wear darker skin like a costume? I really thought it was a black woman at first till I look a little closer and realized it’s definitely a Caucasian woman with what seems to be a superrr dark unnatural spray tan. I definitely do think this dark of a spray tan is definitely unnecessary and black fishing idc if people get spray tans to an extent but once you look like you’re a completely different race I think you’ve overdid it and you’re taking what’s not yours especially when actual brown woman struggle to find jobs in modeling. This should not be okay in my opinion but what do you guys think and why?

1 you as a white man don’t get to decide that no offense. Also that’s not even justa tan she got for fun it was for that photo shoot and our skin color isn’t a costume to start what part of that is hard to understand? I get whites can get tan but when your start going over board and blatantly use black face no you’re an issue. Also like I said the intent may have not been that but she plays a huge part regardless and also yes and magically white woman somehow still takeover the industry
Are these Instagram models Blackfishing? Why or why not?
My stance is that it isn't a racial issue. Depending on the individual and the motivation behind it, it may be a personal issue (i.e. why are they doing this? Is this damaging their skin? Are they trying to compensate for insecurities of some sort?), but I don't think it is some act of racism. They are their own person and can do what they want.
I believe that there may be some confusion with this and blackface. However, the difference between this and black is apparent with the history that is the foundation of implications. Blackface has a history behind it with minstrel shows in the 1830s to 1930s roughly. Those shows mocked black people, exaggerated their features, and dehumanized them. Now, the act of painting a white face black alone is not inherently racist. For instance, there are beauty salons, black ops camo paint, getting muddy. Rather, it's the situation it's used in, and it's the intent behind the paint. These two things cannot be generalized.
Thus, this is a different scenario than the instagram models today. The instagram models are less-likely trying to mock black people or culture, and they're most likely trying to make an appeal to their audience. Now, if there is a model out there obviously mocking, that's one thing, but I don't think that's the case here, based on the photos shown. It happens in a reverse way as well with people with darker skin lightening it. To make a rather bold claim that it's taking jobs away, I think there needs to be stronger evidence for that statement.
Furthermore, every model is trying to make an appeal in one way or another to boost their resumé (aka make their body more appealing to people) and get more deals, and I don't agree that they should be concerned about someone else's job to stop their attempts. That's like someone saying to me that I shouldn't learn guitar in addition to drums, because it makes a guitarist out of a job for a gig. In the business world, there is a certain aspect of every man/woman for him/herself. To promote a constantly consciences perspective for competitors in the market ruins the natural competition that happens.
First of get your modeling gig why do it ad a ducking brown or black woman when there’s actual brown and black woman who can’t get that job because Becky’s are taking the spots up literally using us like costumes
I think there are three things I'd respond to that with: 1.) I think intention plays a large role. I see no reason to believe the model in question is trying to demean black women or steal their modeling gigs. She could just very well think she looks better with the heavy tan. (I don't particularly like the look of the heavy tan myself, but I suppose to each their own.)
2.) If the issue is concern over how many modeling jobs there are for white/black women, I feel like the issue is not the model in question. Instead, I'd wonder just why modeling agencies are using race like quotas. I could be wrong here, but I thought agencies see it more so as a general "if we think you're beautiful, we'll hire you." In other words, the quota isn't racial, but it's a general person quota.
3.) The last paragraph in the original opinion: "every model is trying to make an appeal in one way or another to boost their resumé (aka make their body more appealing to people) and get more deals, and I don't agree that they should be concerned about someone else's job to stop their attempts."
Well, that's your opinion on the matter. If I disgust you or you think whatever of me for my opinion, you're free to do so under ideas of free speech. All I can do really is disagree and say that regardless whether you believe me or not, I don't see a race as having more inherent worth than another, and I don't think any race should have control over other races either.
While I'm assuming we both fully agree that blackface/minstrel shows were awful/racist, I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree on whether the instagram model's tan is a racial issue. Whether one thinks it is a racial issue or not though, I don't think the opinion alone makes someone racist.d
White people say that till it’s time for their greedy ass’s to stop fucking disrespecting us and actually Stop being greedy and allowing us to be just as much in spaces. Also what she did still have an affect and it still plays in part and it was supposed to be a response but I guess it makes sense since plenty of white said the said them that’s from earlier
Response to update: “you as a white man don’t get to decide that no offense“ I’m not offended, but if you disregard me purely from my skin color, I don’t see how we’ll have a fruitful conversation. I mean, yeah, you don’t have to listen to me, but disregarding everything I say like that is how echo chambers are made.
“Also that’s not even justa tan she got for fun it was for that photo shoot and our skin color isn’t a costume to start what part of that is hard to understand” Was there more information behind this story, or is this conjecture? I’m only responding to what I saw on the question. ———— Response to reply: “White people say that till it’s time for their greedy ass’s to stop fucking disrespecting” That’s a generalization. While I’m white, it’s not fair to automatically apply a statement I haven’t made on me just because of skin color.
“stop fucking disrespecting us and actually stop being greedy and allowing us to be just as much in spaces” Could you be more specific? What are white people doing that is preventing (presumably black?) people from being in spaces or whatnot?
“Also what she did still have an affect and it still plays in part” Again, could you be more specific? Although there was outrage on the matter, hence the question, I don’t necessarily see what justified the outrage in the first place.
I just noticed that I’m not sure how that happened but I thought it was the first one I just seen it too. Also it’s not because of your skin colors theirs white people who get it and there even on here but at the same time I can’t expect that out of every white person because your whole experience is completely different. Also stop acting like there’s not all Those photos up there that black photo of here was her at the photoshoot and the rest is her everyday. When white woman get spray tans like this and take a job when an actual brown or black woman could have had that job is a spit in our face because we know the media has always promoted white woman mainly and the one time when it’s supposed to be inclusive we don’t get the proper representation and we’re expected to fight amongst eachother for the job because we know their is such thing as a token brown or black person. Now we have white woman taking spots by putting on skin that isn’t theirs and it’s because ofc they still have their European features while brown and black woman have ours and for whatever reason the media refuses to promote that to the fullest extent like white Woman always had. Yes this is greedy as hell and evil why can’t it be even? I want to see just as much brown and black people on the media I’m tired of white people only allowing like one black or brown person and claiming inclusivity.
Oh I completely agree and she was out on blast for it women like her continue to do shit like this and act like it's no big deal while the winner of our race are trying to embrace there beauty and love themselves they get bashed for it but women like this will be prias d for imitating the same beauty that's bashed and she'll get praised cause she's actually white it makes no fucking sense and is disgusting. it seriously pisses me off it makes you think we'll what next they have copied are styles our culture our skin tone and tried to imitate our features next they will flat out try to be black people through some type of surgery and claim some B's as excuses about how they aren't fucking rasicist. sirey this topic gets me heated
Lmfaoo that’s already happening theirs some white lady with tons of surgery to look black she even has a trip to Africa trying to fit in with an African tribe and she thinks she’s transracial 🤦🏽♀️
Because being ethnic is trendy right now, just like Beyonce and countless black celebrities lightened their skin, or had it photoshopped lighter when light skin black was trending.
If you wanna argue whites are taking our skin, or wearing a costume, then I guess Beyonce is a thief too.
I hate that black people are so bitter.
First we bitch out about them putting s down our race, hating dark skin and curly hair, to complaining about them finally seeing the beauty in it, and trying to mimic it.
At the end of the day, we are really black, and she spends tons of money and time trying to gain the aesthetics.
Its okay.
Our race is in no way threatened by a spray tan and some perm rods.
Dudes who date black chicks, like the real deal.
Dudes who date white chicks, have no interest in her race-bending antics.
No matter what, her black is just paint.
Besides, black girls rock long, bone STRAIGHT, BLONDE, weaves, with blue ass contacts all the time in the hood.
Its racist to be upset at whites for mimicking us, when our people mimicking them too.
White people dressing up as us and than taking jobs that should belong to us is not a compliment you white supremacist cunt. You can’t tell me this is somehow a compliment when brown or black woman can't even be in the industry without having to fight to be the top black or brown girl while white woman can just coexist and their not just referred to by their race and given these stupid personalities that fit stereotypes. You are playing a huge part and colorism and a systemic oppression when you do things like this as a Caucasian. Also quit comparing brown and blacks suffering from hating their skin and who they are because of the worlds treatment against them with stupid ass white think brown is prettier and such a cute little look but don’t have a clue what it’s like to actually be brown. Not a single brown person on here things what you’re doing is a compliment and the time we’re in is all about brown and black self love because of history quit acting like you don’t know this Becky.
People only make a big deal out of something so petty, when they are either arrogant or insecure.
You don't strike me as insecure, so who cares if some little white girl gives herself skin cancer trying to look like me.
If you're basing this off the industry, that's a clue there that shit is backwards already - THE INDUSTRY HAS ABD STILL CATERS TO WHITES.
Whether they darken their skin or not.
But who wants to be a part if that manipulative vain shit anyway?
Black people have real priorities.
We dont conform, we make our own way, which is why magazines like Ebony and media like BET, and the very strong push of black beauty and presence is taking the nation by storm at this time.
People want to be like us.
And why wouldn't they? We're fucking incredible.
But if you want to stress yo self out over some white girl, imma just fluff the fro and go.
This is not okay at all the fact is the industry still won’t promote or allow black or brown woman to be as big as these white woman. Also this is a time where black and browns should be gettin representation but white woman now get to this after they also were the standard of beauty before and now like all throughout here they come stealing again. Look at Jackie aina not getting the real recognition she rightfully deserves especially with her new palette and the countless times she’s promoted everyone else. Also why is every brown black artist a stereotype and why can’t we just be seen as normal everyday average humans not some ghetto or cute little trend.
That girl looks nothing like a black woman and it looks like she just has a tan, but for these models out here really black fishing and making themselves look black is the such disrespect towards us black women especially darker skin black women. They have no idea what hardships comes with being a black woman yet they're putting on darker skin black woman's skintone on like a coat then when they get tired of it or want to go back to being white/light- they wash it off like it's no big deal. Well black women can't do that nor wish to do that. It's like black women can't own anything, not our hair, not our culture and now not even our skintones. America has capitalized off of all those things, things they told us that were wrong yet some of these models have the nerve to treat it like a damn fashion choice. I slap the hell out of some of these women if I could.
I tbh though she did just cuz of the skin color but once I looked at her face and hair I fucking knew it was another Caucasian woman at this bullshit again dude 😡 and it’s fucked up and they have the nerve to act like it’s not a real thing which gets me More más and I fucking feel that smh seeing these type of hoes is fucking all bad
Really I would LOVE to see your pictures especially if your Caucasian because that’s not even scientifically possible for your race but okayyy we can pretend for a second I don’t know that
How could Caucasians get as tan as the fake spray tan color without the same amount of melanin? Your skin Wouldn’t even be able to get that dark without it being a major issue l
Do you ever go to the beach and see those middle aged people that do their daily walk or jogs and they look basically charred? It happens. And they aren’t going to the spray tan.
They don’t look charred and they’ve never been that dark ever you can still tell it’s a Caucasian there’s definitely a certain color you guys get and yes it is scientifically because you guys don’t have the melanin
Regardless, who cares. She can be dark if she wants to. If a girl is a model and she feels threatened by this then you aren’t a good model to begin with.
No she’s not just “tan” she’s literally a completely different skin color and the industry not allowing actual brown woman to consume that much space make this problematic and honestly really offensive.
Yes and her being involved in the industry and doing things like this after brown woman made it known this is offensive and wrong makes her a problem to. Get your bag sis but as sisters we should all stand for each-other and white woman will always have a spot like why try and take a brown woman’s 🙄😩
Are you dumb mzAsh Caucasians fucked up the media for everyone even in different coutures white is seems as the standard becauSe believe it or not the USA sets the standard for the rest of the world and yes white woman doing this is super shitty to brown woman why can’t you guys just fucking be yourself why also take brown woman’s spot when we’re clearly fighting to be seen too why be THAT greedy why do Caucasians have such an issue with equality
And fuck white woman who tan to this extent fucking witches are stealing from brown and black woman this is why I hate white demons y’all are the dirtiest race on earth and the greediest
Jobs and actually brown woman’s place in he industry. This is fucked up to actual woman who are born with that skin and Caucasians cannot get to that skin color without enough melanin that’s a blatant lie.
You all wanna steal everything from culture, to style to skin tone and then spot some nonsense of to everyone else and everyone especially us black are just about fed up
Asians still are oppressed by white supremacy as well it’s sad how it’s a normal thing is China for them to get bigger eyes surgery so no I don’t care when fellow brown people at the end of the day use parts of my culture because they aren’t taking actual brown woman’s spots and they actually acknowledge they’re using the Chicano look it’s not the same as Caucasians putting our skin on taking our jobs and than also claiming nothings wrong that’s what’s disgusting and MLGbreexy exactly ! That shit is fucked up I want to see REAL black and brown woman at the top already without media having to taint our image or fucking make us fight for the spot white woman don’t go through that white woman seem to have all the room in the world.
You people make issues where there are none to be found. What of all the black women who should naturally have afros from their kinky hair, who instead straighten it out? Or even colour it blonde? This woman didn't ''take'' anyone's place in an ''industry''. She just colours herself like a clown and posts pictures of it online and there are other dumb people who, for whatever fucking reason, like it. Instagram models rely entirely on their looks to be successful - you can't blame someone who's fame comes from their looks for their looks. If I could become positively popular by colouring myself pink, I'd be tempted to do it.
People do weird things like extra tan, and skin bleaching and putting Botox and lip fillers into their faces while I don’t understand it I don’t particularly care either. Taking something that’s not yours I suppose that argument could be made about anything from gender, race quotas in employment and education. You’re not taking anything away from someone you’re competing for a spot millions of women all over the planet want. To be model you have to be lucky meet the right people and be stick thin. Most don’t make it and many turn their attention to marring up in social status. Harsh but true.
Nor should you. It’s not harsh if it’s true my ex was latina and I know the kind of nonsense she had to put up with from cops in America. If you’re interested in modelling why not consider looking to another nation where it would be easier to break into the industry?
Awe dude she was darker skinned huh or had like a more gangster natural look to her? I know we naturally have looks like that which get us bad treatment :/ and I’m not interested in modeling lol but I hate seeing this tbh
Yeah she was half Puerto Rican and her mother was Mexican being an Irish man from Dublin I was shocked at the crap have to put up with and the sly comments you know the “go back home stuff”. I understand I also have to tell you that the girl in the photographs it says Ukrainian and Slavic people go very tanned in the sun I know this because one of my best mates is polish and in summer looks Latino lol
It's definitely blackfishing. There's actually a woman on YouTube who is quite famous in the Netherlands, her name is Martina Big. She's a Caucasian woman who changed her skin color by using pigment injections. She turned from white to black. She says that a lot of Caucasian women ask her where she got the injections because they want to look like her, basically they want to look black. I guess these models like the aesthetic of looking black and the biological benefits of having melanated skin, such as not aging as fast and protection from the Sun. As a biology major, I learned a lot about genetics so I'm bringing a scientific standpoint to this. They like the benefits of looking black but they don't want the complications but comes with being black
Amén i could not have said it better myself 🙏🏼💯 This is it folks pay fucking attention ! There’s is something deeply disturbing about this to brown and black people and being our skin color but being able to escape the actual life is what makes it wrong. Also who knows what woman like Martina are using which is a scary thought and also Martina honestly looks scary 😢😂 i seen a clip of her dancing with a African tribe and dude it was just sad to see and i just wish somebody told this woman she was already born beautiful and absolutely did not have to do that and hurt people in the process.
She was very beautiful before the plastic surgery and skin color change, but then I realized that a lot of people that try to force their beauty standards on you, are deep down insecure about their looks and they don't believe that they're beautiful. Which is sad. Even though I'm a biology major , I also love psychology, if you look at the psychology of the dominant Society, a lot of people try to force skin bleaching in many countries. If you look at the map, there are more countries with melanated people then there are countries with non-melanated people. Skin bleaching is all over Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, South America, and the Middle East. However non melanated people wants to have melanin, while shaming us for having it. That's the perfect example of reverse psychology
Well I agree with you, but just playing devil's advocate, there are white people who are naturally darker-skinned than some black people. Dark skin isn't NECESSARILY a black trait, despite the "white/black/brown/red" vocab we use to describe race. I've met white people the color of coffee and black people the color of sanded pine.
That said, I agree the spray tan looks unnatural (better than orange though!) My sister did the same thing (except on a tanning bed), and there might be some element of emulation. She only hangs out with and dates black people, and at one point was pretty racist against white people. I thought it was just a stupid trend, but maybe it did have something to do with the aesthetic of looking like the other people in her clique specifically. If that's the case, then that is just one more reason she shouldn't do it, along with cancer and looking like an old baseball glove by the time she hits 40.
So I'm not responding to the attack on my sister, you seem to think she is bad based on the fact that she tans, hangs out with black people and hates white people (but you say you do too.) That's just you trying to be rude to get a reaction. It's a common tactic for you apparently.
I will respond to your pathetic understanding of genetics and melanin though. Black people are more likely to have more melanin, but that's not a given. Black people are also more likely to develop sickle cell anemia, but that doesn't mean every black person has sickle cell and it doesn't mean that no white man does. There are white people with sickle cell, there are white people with melanin.
I've been to Africa. There are men there much lighter than white people I know. I've been to Eastern Europe. There are white men there much darker than you. Hell my own father has more melanin than you, if that's you in your pic lol. And do you know what tanning is? That's when someone's skin starts producing more melanin lmao. As long as it's not a spray tan, that shit is ACTUALLY melanin. It's a pretty hard sell to say that a natural bodily process is "cultural appropriation". There is no line in the Sahara desert where people on one side have melanin and the other side they don't.
And yes I did say it was unnatural. But so did you in your original question literally like four lines in, so you can save your fake outrage.
I won't respond to you, because you're very set on having a fight with everyone. And tbh, I don't even think that woman up there is trying to look black. If she was, she probably would've colored her hair. I don't really think my sister is trying to be black either. The deep tan is more of a glamor girl thing like the fake lashes and nails. I was just trying to throw you a bone.
You’re not understand how her THINKING she’s transracial is an issue she’s never going to be a brown or black woman her experience is always going to be a white womans and yes that’s how black and browns get their color and don’t talk about the small percentage who are sick who don’t have the proper amounts that’s not the majority and that doesn’t mean anything fact it most brown blacks people do have m amounts that is specific to us and all white people have melanin they just have lower amounts which does make your skin different 🤦🏽♀️
I said it was unnatural and colorist as in fucking stealing from brown and black woman don’t try and make exactly what I said to fit your white ass agenda I said what I said also what fake outrage? You’re a white man What the fuck would you know or understand? Just because whitesupremacist like you can’t comprehend doesn’t mean shit
I don't know, I don't think you have enough melanin to not be white. I don't think black women have that little melanin. It's just science. You have too little melanin to be black, because as we all know, race is a real, genetic thing and all people of the same race look exactly the same. I know because you're lighter than a lot of white people I don't know. Trying to be transracial, I see. don't steal those cultures.
Well, it turns out i've always lived amongst black people, because not every community is segregated. I'm even related to a few. They haven't tried to kill me yet, so I'm thinking that might just be your deal, and you're trying to drag everyone else along with you
Oh and the outrage is fake, because you were trying to get pissy about something that you yourself said, and I was just repeating. Obviously since you were willing to say it, you don't really find it that objectional. You just forgot you said it, and was looking for something to be upset about.
Oh I'm aware black and brown people are mad, and they have good reason to be. But most aren't as irrational and ridiculous as your white, melanin-deprived ass, and I'm fairly certain black people didn't get together and plan to "get rid of" white people.
But you can't advocate for a genocide, and then talk about inclusivity. And you can't advocate for a genocide and then call other people racial supremacists without being a hypocrite.
Black women in the pictures can do what they want, nobody cares If Beyonce is WHITE-FISHING. Instagram is a job now? Anyway on the free market the best get the job.
How the fuck is Beyoncé white fishing? 🤔 um I’m extremely confused and also working with brands is a job they make very very very good money better than any regular person.
Blonde hair, lightening her skin, in magazines her pictures are edited so she appears less black. That's White-fishing. Colorism is rife within the black community and often black girls feel ashamed to be darkskinned so they try to appear more white with blonde wigs and products to lighten their skin color. Micheal Jackson was an extreme case of WHITE-FISHING as is Janet Jackson. Another thing is the most job to appear more white. Beyonce had a nose job in 2013 and now has a Caucasian nose getting rid of her wide negro nose. https://youtu.be/AMdr9Kmx794
Beyoncé first of all is naturally lighter skinned she never bleached her skin that’s a blatant lie and blonde hair isn’t a European only trait and yes because of white supremacy like this and Michael Jackson was sick you idiot he lost his pigmentation
Also it’s sad black and brown people do get nose jobs to fit the European standard and you’re Caucasian ass knows this but wants to deny an actual truth about what your people did.
Beyonce as you see in the above picture is often pale white like she is wearing makeup and in magazines she is often photoshoped to look white, bear in mind she is in complete control of her image. So Beyonce is WHITE-FISHING. Also don't forget Beyonce got plastic surgery to make her nose less African and more white. That was just the story Micheal Jackson told, he had skin bleached and like his sister's latoya and Janet hated their African features. Blonde hair is very much as Caucasian trait and is more a Caucasian trait than blonde hair is for black women. My people never forced black people to get nose jobs.
Yes because in America you don’t get to be beautiful without those features, you don’t get to be treated right without those features. Stop comparing white supremacy to beck tanning. Also yea I’m going to believed what was actually told by Michael Jackson and he was sick he definitely loved his brown skin he talked about it.
You actually did though your nasty people set an unrealistic standard for us. This fight clearly isn’t over and the only white people who never want to see it are the white supremacist being referred to.
Everyone wanna be brown but don’t wanna be brown. As in there’s so much cultural appropriation. No one wants to ever give us credit for creating styles and trends and also say that our oppression and suffering aren’t real. Yet everyone wants to get spray tans, hips and ass bc they wanna be thought of as cool and think they can take credit for things we do. Brown complexions aren’t a trend stop wearing them as costumes.
I agree I have been saying that for years. The Kardashian’s are a prime example. It is ok to be black until race comes in to play. As a black man I find it horrible that society is doing this.
That shit is fucking horrible and it’s sad to see these white supremacist still to this day hold on to their same mentalities nothing really changed, fuck em.
It’s a type of passive aggressive relational thing. They know brown is beautiful. They feel threatened bc brown is a majority so they’ll try to eliminate the threat by any means and even going to extremes as genocide and forcing people to dislike themselves. They know they can’t physically be us so they try to switch places mock us in order to take from us but they don’t really want to be us bc of all the negativity they’ve attached to our societies. Now there’s generations upon generations essentially not caring, forgetting history, or disliking themselves so no one stops culturally appropriating caucus people from doing what they do. Then they wanna have arguments with us on what our cultural and styles we created and say some dumb stuff like “no one culture really created cornrows”
hello, I'm a psychologist, is this your outburst due to a question of preference or envy? because it makes no sense to give the racist to a person who wants to tan, she is not committing a crime, nor offending other ethnic groups because she has tanned so much, I can guarantee you that there are people who become even darker without the help of tanning sprays, however, letting off steam on others is not the solution to your problems, even spreading hatred towards other people is not a good thing
You are not a psychologist you’re just a white supremacist going on anonymous trying to sound professional but NONE of what you said Is accurate at all.
And if you’re a “psychologist” why do black and brown woman not get spots in the industry and why anytime black or brown woman get a spot why is it does it seem like we always have stereotypical personalities? 🙄 why is there always some kind of feud in the industry by brown and black woman to fight for a spot in it white woman don’t seem to have to fight to have a space they can all just coexist? Why do soooooo many brown people feel the need to try and look closer to European to fit in? 🤦🏽♀️ this is the first time we’ve have brown/ black woman and we still can’t have that because white woman now dress up as us and take our spots while we struggle to actually be our own representation. We shouldn’t have to keep asking for people to stop doing shit like this because it’s offensive and the way we were treated was shitty we don’t need some Caucasian woman to play be us now when a Caucasians woman will always be completely different
Went through the comments and many are disagreeing but I agree this is racist.. and my brother (who is white) agrees that this is racist (so please don't assume all white men disagree with you)
This is black face, its wrong to do this. there is no such thing as trans-racial
Thank you baby 🙏🏼💯 I just want to make it clear I just meant whitesupremacist which are the white people who just refuse to respect us or see what’s wrong regardless. Thank you white people like you and your brother and the realest you can see through the bullshit and brown and black people will ALWAYS appreciated the ones like you. We know there’s good white souls in our country 🙏🏼💯
1) I have not heard that term. 2) They do have melanin, just not to the extent of others. 3) If they’re doing it because of wanting to look exotic, they’re committing a racist micro aggression in the fact that it makes people who they are attempting to emulate as the other. This includes people who think of it this way as well. 4) If they’re doing it because they want to, I see no issue. It’s like how Snooki once out her race as tan... lol. Some people love it.
Yes look it up and look into blackface and yes I know and that’s why their skin can’t physically do that and yes I get that but Snooki to start isn’t a good example and also the issue is when it’s 2019 and we still have to fight for a space in a supposedly inclusive time against white woman now who do this and take jobs in from real woman who are brown/black even if their intent as the individua model is not to do that, it’s does have a bigger affect
The Snooki example is to be used because she liked to do it. Not to be exotic or to try to emulate darker skinned people. She liked how she looked. It’s a possibility that I can’t ignore.
You don’t actually think that white people can’t tan, do you? Because I’m white and I can go wayyy darker than any of these bi#ches. Coming from a country where tanning is a common practice, people don’t tan here to look black. They tan to look bronze the way they would naturally do if they went away on a holiday. They want the sun kissed skin to look like they actually go out and do shit, travel, spend their days in Hawaii. I see how you see irony in this kind of behaviour and the fact that racism is still very real, but that isn’t the same as claiming white people tan because they wanna be black.
This is definitely an issue when actually brown or black woman struggle to get jobs in the industry and #1 bullshit you cannot get white when the melanin in your skin that we have is what gives us our color and males us able to be that dark your people cannot do hat scientifically because of the lack of melanin
Hun, I am go twice a dark as the display picture you have. Do you seriously think white people can’t tan? So when you see a tanned white person do you just assume they spray tan LOL?
You can’t unless you’re mixed with a colored race if not no you can’t period there’s actual science behind this. White people due to the lack of melanin number can’t obtain that much color and also are more often than not the ones who get skin cancer. That’s just how it is don’t try and lie to me like regular ass white people have enough melanin that’s not scientifically true.
Post a picture let’s see your tan I doubt it’s going to be like the one up theirs that’s clearly only brown or black womans skin I’ll be waiting sweetie because you’re clearly trying to lie about actual scientific facts.
You’re lying that’s why you KNOW your skin color cannot physically reach a certain point. Also I’m Hispanic and afrolatina i don’t fake tan Becky this is my actual skin
I think it's a bad idea to define yourself and others through race. Skin color is either meaningless, or it isn't. You can't pick and chose. She's a woman, you're a woman. What you're saying sounds like we should make sure to always keep thinking of white and black people as fundamentally different. We're not. Also, those girls aren't TAKING anything away from you. That's nonsense. The color isn't "yours" to begin with. And the second girl has a skin tone that is perfectly normal for a tanned caucasian person.
That doesn't change the fact that her skin tone looks absolutely normal for a caucasian person in the second picture. And what exactly IS the problem? And how does this "play into colorist" (whatever that means)? Also, one look at that sentence (if you can even call it that) you wrote there, and it is painfully obvious WHO the idiot is. I have a question. Are YOU white? Because you look white to me.
And what about the first where she’s using brown and black girls skin as a fucking costume? And this plays into colorism because the one time after a racist past we get to have our own representation Caucasian woman feel the need to STILL take it the most room and this time also pretend to be us because hey who needs to hire brown or black woman when a Becky with a tan could just take the part 🤦🏽♀️ I hate Caucasians and scurrrrr ew don’t ever lmao you’re white not me I’m 💯 Latina and Afrolatina I ain’t no Caucasians fuck outta here
At what point is a person black, and at what point is a person white? What percentage of DNA must be "black", for a person to be considered black? Are people who are only 50% black allowed to look brown? Because they mostly do. What about people who are 25% black? Are THEY allowed to look black? Or is that a problem? What about 10%? 5%? At what point is a person black, and at what point is a person white?
You're racist, and too dumb to understand it. I think you're jealous that this girl has a darker skin tone than you, and rocks it, because you want to feel special over your skin color. Just racist. And I repeat: Her skin tone is NORMAL for a caucasian. Even if you are whiter than her.
No it’s not you’re a liar that’s scientifically 💯 impossible you’re skin can’t do it without the proper amounts of melanin which you’re kind doesn’t have period
Plenty of White women do that to get followers! And it's so ridiculous. They take the platform away from actually Black women. Disgusting. And to make things worse we got Shudu who doesn't even exist, she's a digitally made Black model and was created by a White man.
Dude fuck yes I’ve heard of that too ! That shit is so ducking disgusting to me and I don’t know if you watch IAmEloho but she made a video with him so can see why he did it and supposedly he did not cuz he really does like black woman but I don't know in the video he sounds like he wants to get money for black woman and he hasn’t even put back into the black community but yet there he is taking all those jobs away 🤦🏽♀️
Um... Actually, we caucasians can get really really dark. Of course, I mean without a spray tan. For example, I need at least 3 days to get really brown skin. Also, she doesn’t look black at all. She’s just tan.
you’re lying it’s a scientific fact it’s literally impossible your skin could not physically handle that because you don’t have enough melanin you’re not about to lie to me and tell that’s just a normal everyday Caucasian skin tone that’s definitely black face.
Roxi, I guess what you misunderstand is that not every Caucasian is light-skinned. I’m naturally more on a darker side, but I AM Caucasian. Since I’m already more dark (I have some Italian and Persian blood in me, but very little) I can get much darker than that, but it needs time. I can’t get as brown as Africans, but I can get similar skin-tone.
She look the colour that I go in the summer and I’m Spanish.. being tan doesn’t just belong to black people. My complexion is because the island my family are from is right next to Africa so I would go dark... but I’m not black
Girl stfu why are you talking like You’re white than If you’re hispanic like I am I know you’re getting color these white females can't Even get to that color it’s scientifically impossible for them because they don’t have the melanin
I am Hispanic... yeah it does suck, because when I was younger I used To get called poo skin and stuff, and it hurt. But how do we know these girls don’t have some Hispanic black background xx
I know babe lol you def look like a Hispanic too and you’re very beautiful 💕 better than any white bitch and awe babe I feel like that brown skin is shit on for the most part we grew up hearing our skin was bad but yet these Caucasian woman can wear our skin like a costume and get a pass and jobs fucking bullshit
@SnowMoon don't listen, your as Caucasian and white as any other European. She's American & recycling KKK propoganda that Hispanics aren't white when those from the Iberian peninsula have a their routs with Basque, Celtic, Latin and Germanic people's. Hispanic is not a race it's to do with speaking spainish. Also many would kill for your skin colour, girls just be jealous. I used to get mocked for my pale ivory skin and red hair.
Why do we even care about this? It's no different than black women straightening their hair and dying it blonde, which is something I see literally every day. So what, who cares?
Why do some people try so hard to find something to be offended about?

@HereIbe I see this all went right over your head. LOL
You have zero evidence these girls have any racist intent whatsoever. Dark skin is attractive to some and many people even pay a lot of money and risk their health to get a tan or a fake tan just to look good. Assuming it is racially driven without any evidence is just stupid.
If the intent isn't racist then it's not racism, BY DEFINITION.
What the fuck is it with you people who are so fucking desperate to find anything to you can take offense at? THAT is the only thing that is fucked up here.
It has nothing to do with racism and I'm not a white supremacist, you moron.
People who are desperate to find something offensive will always find something offensive, regardless of whether there was actually anything offensive in the first place. People like that are invariably miserable human beings.
I really hope English is not your first language. If it is, you are a classic example of the failure of our public schools.
I could return your racial slur, but I would just be lowering myself to your level, and then I would be a pathetic racist piece of human garbage just like you. I'm not going to because, unlike you, I'm better than that.
I hate to break it to you but some "white" people can naturally tan to a really dark tan because they do have the melanin their tanning is a natural reaction to the UV in sunlight and you have no idea what the persons genetic background is. If its Natali Danish you're specifically on about I have notices that some of the photos of her that appear to have been taken with a smart phone seem to have skewed saturation, contrast and white balance settings especially the first two above, I seriously doubt that there is any intention to cause offence.
They need to be mixed with a colored person somewhere in there. A white person who’s just white cannot do that. Your skin lacks the melanin to do so that’s why white vs colored people are more often than not getting skin cancer there’s no running from actual facts. Also like I’ve stated before her intentions may have not been but the overall effects where.
also i remember the black and white mintrals... google them... so it makes me worry we haven't come that far from acceptable 1970s racism really in certain areas of life. very sad
They are trying to achieve this look where they look like they can be from any "race" - its actually seen as the most attractive when their race looks ambiguous.
Thank you 💯 exactly like this shit is horrible dude and I don't know but black and brown woman can’t even really be promoted in makeup still it’s always whites having to do the including us when black and brown companies can’t even promote for their own peopl because of Big whitesupremacist cooperation like for example Jackie aina :(
Who pissed in your cereal this morning? 'Caucasian' is an old biological taxon that has more or less become invalid. 'Caucasian' can include people from Europe, Western Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa. So when you're saying that Caucasians can't get that dark, you're wrong, because Indians, North Africans and people from the Horn of Africa can get really dark skinned.
White people can't get black or that brown i stand by what the fuck I said it’s an actual scientific truth without enough melanin your skin can’t do that.
