i think they're mostly just her being a bit ignorant
the last one though :worry:

[Gstar]

ignorant and rude, I don't wanna say racist (to black people) because it wouldn't make sense with the way she acts. These celebrities need to lay off twitter

[Kizzy]

I don't see anything wrong, what's the problem?

[Me. I Am Salman]

really?

[reece(:]

Some of these tweets were made 4 years ago, has she made any recently? Just show bad humour/ignorance to me

[Me. I Am Salman]

I don't see the second one as anything bad
(Btw this is from a tumblr post)

[Jordan.]

old from before she was famous and most of them sound tongue in cheek.

[reece(:]

What kinda reach from tumblr haters

yes I'd just like to say I'm not accusing her for anything, I still love her, jus thought it'd be interesting to discuss

[King Gizzard]

I think American's and Mexican's generally have a rivalry/really don't like each other in relation to that last one (I know she's australian, but she pretty much counts as American now)

[Crimson Dynamo]

I presume she is speaking like that because she wants to be black?

Your race determines how you speak?

Race and social status absolutely. In London now you have poor white kids who speak with a black Jamaican patois an ting

It's all about where you come from and how people around you or at your school etc speak. Has nothing to do with race. A white person can speak like that just as much as a black person can.

Poppycock

The closest market town to where I live, a sleepy little place in Norfolk, has hardly any black people living there. However, if you're around when the school kicks out you'd swear you were in London because all the kids try for the "speak", although probably none of them even know a black person.

Yeah, there are some who probably watch TV/Films and try emulate it etc. On the whole though, or at least for me growing up anyway it's just as normal for a white person to speak like that due to their surroundings and upbringing I suppose.

Same way you sometimes see a Black person talking like a "pub lad" or even "Posh" sometimes.

Coming from London I really do find it amusing. Especially so as since I've lived in the country I've heard more racist bullsh1t that I ever hard in London and it must drive some of their racist parents mental. Although it amused me also in London when you'd hear a black teenager speak in the "MTV stylie", and his parents were both quite Cockney.

That's exactly how accents and languages developed in the first place...

[Lee.]

Maybe not racist, but definitely unpleasant.

Who even is she anyway?

She's a music artist/rapper, sung Work/Bounce/Change Your Life

[Crimson Dynamo]

She has a big arse is all I see

[Loukas]

Opinions like that need to be kept to herself.
oh Iggy :bored:

To go as far as saying she's racist? I'm not sure tbh :/

[Vicky.]

Looks to me like another of those who just try to be controversial for the sake of it

[InOne]

What ethnicity is she? I always thought she was Hispanic

[Z]

She's a white girl from Australia as far as I'm aware

[InOne]

Oh right, thought she was from the Bronx or something LOL

[King Gizzard]

She has no long term credibility, bit like a modern day Princess Superstar

[Crimson Dynamo]

She looks like a diet version of Rita Ora

Better than most female artists around today.

[King Gizzard]

Come on now it's mainly just a gimmick that she's doing so well

[Glenn.]

Seems like shes just an idiot to me.

I think nowadays you have to be gimmicky to break through initially. What you do after that is up to you; Lady Gaga debuted as a "cool party girl" and then reinvented herself as Mother Gay. :shrug:
