Can someone explain this to me? I’m out of the loop when it comes to mainstream social media, and I suspect that’s what this is about…

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.

I forgave her when I realized she is a method actress. Whenever she becomes an entirely different person for a period of time, it’s simply what she’s always done. She’s an artist, she lives & breathes & becomes whatever role she’s currently in. She’s not confused or having an identity crisis, she is doing what millions of girls would love to do if we had enough time & money & freedom to experiment so wildly with our appearance & identity.
Most kids have to muddle through public School being told that if we do everything we’re told, then all our dreams will come true and we’ll be successful. Only to discover long after graduation that it was all a lie, all we can do is get a job to eke out survival, our hopes & dreams never see the light of day.
Now imagine being Ariana grande, deciding at age four you want to be a singer dancer and actress and by the age of eight you’re starring in the lead role of a local community theater play, and by age 13 you’re on Broadway, and through your teenage years you’re starring on an international cable tv show and then you become a pop star and the world can’t get enough of you. Ariana casually mentioned once that she’s literally a witch, and her brother has mentioned their family is into cannibalism, except for Ariana, because she’s vegan, 🤔 so yeah there’s a wild rabbit hole we could go down.
Please excuse my way-too-many-paragraphs in response to this lighthearted meme. I’m going through some stuff right now.

I always thought she looked kind of off. Now I know it’s the bleached skin.

I see you did not even mention Carthage, as is tradition.

“Asian. Black. Hispanic. White. Long ago, the four races lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the White Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four races, could stop them, but when the world needed them most, they vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, a White Girl named Ariana. And although her singing skills are great, she has a lot to learn before she’s ready to save anyone. But I believe Ariana can save the world.”

Can someone tell me the difference between Hispanic and White? I’m not American
Darkmuch@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
The USA was mostly colonized by Germans, Irish, and English. So skin tones are usually much lighter.
Central and South America had a larger indigenous population, and the Spanish/Portuguese colonizers had a bit darker skin, with much more frequent inter racial relationships.
However, the region in question is fucking huge. Don’t expect Mexicans, Columbians, Argentinians to all look the same.
Really Hispanic is more of a cultural category for all things with Spanish Legacy.

Concisely? No.

Hispanic refers to a person with a mix of native American and Spanish heritage created when the Spaniards conquered Latin America.
White generally just refers to a caucasian-looking person.
