Maybe she was hoping to win a MOBO Award?

Like obviously she should be "allowed" to do what she wants with her hair, but if she was actively pretending to be something she isn't? Hmm

And if she's pretending to be black with a blonde afro wig, surely the blonde could be seen as cultural appropriation? Or maybe it's all one way. |

African covers the indigenous people of the African continent, the natives. You could of course have mixed race, but not white White people from the Dutch and the Empire are not classed as Africans. White South Africans or Afrikaner, white Zimbabweans etc. They take the name of the country normally, not the continent. It may have changed of late, but not to my knowledge. |

Blonde isn't a race. But there aren't many naturally blonde Africans. Are there. If wearing an afro wig is cultural appropriation, then so is bleaching and straightening your black afro hair. |

I made an error in the dawn butler thread the other day, and as soon as it was pointed out I owned it, and corrected it. |

I think that claiming that white people wearing an afro is cultural appropriation, is equally as stupid as claiming that black girls who dye and straighten their hair is cultural appropriation. If you think that's silly, well, there's not much I can do about that. Maybe just ignore me? Save me having to explain things to the nth degree. |
Rita Ora and attention seeking, well i know her as an attention seeking bitch so nothing new here
still also not over her robbing my friend Liss at The Voice UK that time :bawling: |
I'm not really sure where I stand on the whole hairstyles being cultural appropriation topic however there is a reasoning there which wouldn't be there if you reverse it. Afros on black people were something that was viewed as ugly and as "bad hair" (especially on black women) in the not so distant past, it's probably a reason why some black women opted to straighten their hair or wear wigs etc, it's an issue white women generally don't face. It must be very annoying for a famous white woman to then come along and wear that style and have everyone say how amazing it is on her

I don't think anyone should be told how to dress or how to look. I've never considered the afro ugly. Except on the aforementioned ginger bloke from the synagogue.

Anyhoo unless he's a black Jew it's not a 'natural' afro by definition. Blonde is not a culture, it's a colour. |
