Comment on Ariana Grande: The Last Racebender

Ariana is infamous for blackfishing. When she played pretend as a black person it was profitable for her to be a “baddie” + rap/trap infused pop music was in (see a pic of her from 2018). When she was casted for Wicked she decided that to be taken seriously as a “prestige” actress she had to transition back to being a white person (see pics of her from 2025).

Damn. Beginning to think race might be some kind of socio-economic construct used to mystify material conditions of the proletariat.
