Ariana Grande's extensive plastic surgery- is she asianfishing now?

Agree. In that second link, she’s got her eyes half closed (which, in combo with makeup, gets rid of eyelid creases), and the heavy winged eyeliner definitely helps.

If you look at her instagram you can see her eyes are just as they were with make up to make it look like she has less of a crease.
Her nose on the other hand looks very artificial.

You can feel one way or another about that. She also really leans on that 'look like a small child' aesthetic which has some overlap with 'look asian'.

But this is insane she has clearly NOT removed her eyelids lol.

Yup. I'm half Middle Eastern, half European, and if I don't wear makeup i just look white, but with eyeliner, suddenly I'm exotic and ethnically ambiguous. Makeup is magic.

K pop is the new wave, J pop hasn't quite gained as much traction, but either way she's just latching into a new identity. I don't understand how anyone thinks this is ok.

I also initially thought she was Latinx!


Same. The deliberate race switching is crazy, as is the level of surgery she's had. She needs to stop!

I saw some other pics posted, didn't seem to be appropriating other cultures. She was really tan 24/7 for years and years. She is from South Florida and I think Sicilian. It seems almost odd now if she is pale.

The surgery she actually did probably get was early in her singing career - an excellent nose job and possibly eyebrow lift, not sure if maybe blepharoplasty too. Just compare her Disney teen pics to like 2019.



She's had multiple surgeries lol. You guys are so naive and trusting, it's cute.

Please ask this question online under your real name. You will get some answers.

Why can't anyone answer my question?

Well Oli London is transracial and he applauded Ariana on her transformation. He is trans-Korean so seemingly the same category as Ariana.

Here’s an answer to your disingenuous question that you’re trying to use to call out transgenderism: it’s not okay to pretend to be another race.

I teach college students and makeup in young people is really really something. Plenty of my students look like her (generally) in both pics. Almost different people say to day.

I’m unfazed.


Lip filler doesnt generally erase your double eyelids!


Right. But Photoshop and lighting and contouring and editing do.

Also, if "young people" are referring to her as Ariana Nguyen, those young people are racist. Two (perceived) wrongs don't make a right. Ick. If I caught my kid saying this I'd give them hell.

She’s female. It’s LatinA. No need for the performative X.

It's not a disingenuous question that I'm using to call out transgenderism. Why is it not okay to pretend to be another race? What makes ethnicity so sacrosanct? Why is it not okay to experiment this way? What makes it so bad? Why are people so upset by what she is doing?

NP

I didn’t read it as the PP calling out trandgenderism. It’s a valid question - why is identifying as a different gender ok but identifying as a different race not?

So just to be clear, you are confused why people have a problem with blackface and the like?

Watch some video clips from The Voice. The pictures on instagram are makeup/filters/posing.


Definitely not. You sound really clueless. Her eyefolds are pretty much completely gone now. Do you have any knowledge about plastic surgery?


Do you have any knowledge about makeup and instagram filters? Clearly not.
