Comment on Is it possible to not know who a famous person is?

I know Ariana Grande and The Weekend are singers.
But if you printed out 9 pictures of a vaguely hispanic woman singer, and 1 picture of her, I would have a 1 in 10 chance I point her out.
Same thing with The Weekend.
And I’m sure you could name 20 names, 10 of them famous people, 10 are random names from the phone book. I would have zero confidence in knowing rather than guessing, who the famous people are.

This comment is outrageously funny to me. Because Ariana grande is not Hispanic in the slightest. Like, she’s so white she would stand out in the middle of a group of even vaguely Hispanic women like a sore thumb. But it just adds to the comedy.

How is her last name so Spanish then?

Bro, Grande is a word in like 4 different languages, but it’s a last name only in one, Italian.
