Exactly. Justin Timberlake always gets a free pass too.[/quote]

It’s odd how some of you make these sweeping statements. A free pass from which free pass issuers?  Many people who have never listened to Timberlake’s music detest him for his role in the Super Bowl halftime show fiasco.  Others disliked him way before that.
If you want to make your comments more useful or even more interesting and informative, specifics might help. Broad generalizations really don’t add too much to the conversation.

DP. Oh come on. There is no significant discussion of Timberlake and racism going ok, or Eminem. Awkwafina is being held to a totally different standard. [/quote]

Yet another sweeping generalization. So much for an opportunity for substantive discussion. 
Have a nice day. [/quote]

It's true. Not sure why you are so bothered bye even just acknowledging the base fact that an Asian woman is held to a vastly different standard than two wealthy white men, but it is a true fact. [/quote]

AA poster here.

On Black forums there has been much debate on the cultural appropriation of hip hop done by Justin Timberlake and Eminem. It’s also been discussed on Black Blogs and Black Twitter basically by Black people in Black Spaces. Eminem has even rapped about it in numerous songs.

Just because you’re not aware doesn’t mean it’s not happening and then when a Black person comes in to inform you that these conversations have taken place you deny … Geez no wonder these conversations only happen in Black spaces.[/quote]
knowing where Eminem grew up, you still think he committed cultural approrpriation?  He lived in that culture, was surrounded by it.  We speak the way others around us speak.  That's normal. Happens everywhere, irrespective of race.[/quote]

People have reading comprehension issues on this thread.  The person didn't profess an opinion about whether Eminem committed cultural appropriation; they only pointed out that it has been debated.[/quote]
