[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ask this seriously, but [b]who cares if she decides to portray herself as Asian now? Or if she previously portrayed herself as Latina?[/b] Why is it so bad? Why can one portray themselves as a different gender but not a different ethnicity? What makes ethnicity so sacrosanct but not gender?[/quote]

Please ask this question online under your real name. You will get some answers.[/quote]
Why can't anyone answer my question?[/quote]

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.[/quote]
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?[/quote]

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

People who put of blackface were not identifying as black people. Completely different. [/quote]

Playing dress up as a different race? Nah, it’s the same.[/quote]

Then so is playing dress up as a different gender. [/quote]

Agree. There is no reason why one is acceptable and one is not. And if there is a good reason, I have yet to hear it. [/quote]
NP.. I'll bite.

In this case, she is doing this because she admires Kpop and wants to imitate the look.

In the other case, people who do black face do so to make fun of it, not because they "admire" it. They usually do it to get laughs or insult black people.    It becomes a caricature.

If she had made herself look like a dorky, nerdy Asian person with really slitty eyes, then she'd be flamed for it.  But, that's not what she did here.

IMO, Rachel Doleanz pretending to black is a bit like what Grande did.  Doleanz didn't put on "black face" like a caricature, but rather dyed her hair, and got a tan of some kind to appear more like a lighter skinned black person.  She likes the look; Grande likes the look.   People who don black face don't do it because they like the look.[/quote]

Rachel isn't like Ariana at all. It was more than liking the look for her. She also lied about being Black which she used to her advantage.[/quote]
