that’s a complex question lol. many people debate abt it. i will say most AA are a quarter white and we as a society don’t consider them mixed, so in the US, i think she’s just white or maybe “othered.”

How am I wrong? Y’all forgetting the fact that she still is a quarter black. It’s like y’all pissed that she said something about. Why you in your feelings? She said that in a 2017 interview with PLAYBOY.

im white passing. it’s not my place to say “we”. it’s my place to help. i am in pain for my family, but nobody is gonna kill me based on my skin color. I’ve always been proud of who I am but it’d be an absolute disservice to say “we” when I’m not susceptible to the same violent. (This is her tweet from 2020).

I’m pretty sure this means that she wouldn’t experience the same pain because she looks white, but at the same time she’s claimed her black side a lot of time. I promise if she was a little darker people would be on her ass even more.

Also we don’t have the right to label her race. If she identifies as biracial then she has the right to do that, but we don’t have the right to label her white or othered.
