now that this whole blackfishing (white girls trying to look black) thing is going viral so many white girls have been getting called out including Ariana grande. Many people say that she is trying to make herself look black/mixed and many people didn’t even know she was white at first because of how dark her spray tan is. What do y’all think?

I agree with the font who said she looks like a spicy yt. She’s Italian and that is how they look. I grew up in a city with a lot of them, they all look like that so maybe it is a regional thing? Like if you didn’t know what Italians look like you wouldn’t really be able to tell?

But she did have a super dark spray tan in some promo pics for sweetener that people called out and she apologized for. She doesn’t look black or ambiguous to me at all. No one would confuse her for anything other than yt.

Ya girl also took a dna test and found out she’s ‘heavily Greek and North African’. I don’t know. I’ve never heard Italians proudly call themselves latino. I think of Latin descent, but not latino.
Which she is.

She is of italian, Sicilian descent which is from the latin ethnic group in Europe how she Latina Fishing what she is ?

She wants to look mixed so bad. Y’all see how she was wearing those yacky ponytails? And her being Italian has nothing to do with it

It's just the tanner that makes her look ambiguous, because her style is very much unique to her.

She doesn't strike me as someone tryna "blackfish". She wears her ponytails, tube tops and babydolls and minds her business.

I remember that VMAs look, she crimped her ponytail for texture. I mean after 4 years of the same style she has to switch it up sometimes.

And an over-tanned Italian? Shocking. She looks like one of those Jersey Shore weirdos, not Black or mixed. If you wanted to say something about her personality and how she acts (associating with rap acts, impersonating Black divas), then sure. But look wise I don’t see it.

I love my girl, I just wonder if she has a skin condition? That make up on her face to the rest of her body is just odd.


And I thought blackfishing started with the Kardashian, no?

She's not trying to look Black to me. Maybe a Biracial, ambiguous women but at the same time, there is Italians with her complexion & naturally.

I used to think she was Latina until that SNL sketch she did where she corrected them lol.
I don’t know if she’s trying to look black or ambiguous on purpose though. All celebrities fake tan lately

Well her last name is Grande. She's not exactly a WASP.

The surname Grande or Del Grande is a surname of Spanish and Italian origin.

This. I think she recently started telling people that the proper pronunciation is “Grandee” too because of the confusion. I feel like her last name is another “Rihanna” situation where people just pronounce the name how they want to.

But she has always proudly declared that she was Italian and her family, as she describes them, are Italian as hell.

I only used that picture to show off her ridiculous tanning.

That was crimped but this is a whole ass yaki ponytail. And don’t even get me started on her trying to incorporate trap into her music and her using aave all in her music and social media.

She was really out here singing “baby we got that hood love”....

"Blackfishing" has been happening for years before the Ponytailed Polly Pocket was even born, so I'm not sure why this is peddled as a brand new phenomenon.

There was a picture of her being the same shade as Victoria Monet who is a darker skin girl (I hope this didn’t come off as rude)

As I said, feel free to drag for the AAVE use. There’s no use denying something she actually does. If that’s a yaki ponytail then mess. Tragic. Horrible. But she is not Blackfishing because she isn’t claiming to be Black or avoiding the topic of her ethnicity. Nor is she claiming some exotical or ambiguous identity like the Kardashians. She has always said she was Italian. She has always given shine and respect to the Black divas who inspired her.

Appropriation is one thing, but saying she is out here like Rachel Dolezal is a reach.

Many Latino in Europe don't claim latino but they are the original Latins of this world.

That’s literally what black fishing is tho. Black fishing is way more subtle than Rachel Dolezal. That Emma H chick wasn’t flat out claiming to be black but she was insinuating it by emulating black characteristics.
