I mean, one line or another like the "no matter black white..." line in BTW is cute but a whole song about racism would be her most I agree. I'm glad she's openly stated that a lot of the lines from that song (and album) are either from her experience, or from the experience of her fans- and thus not making racial issues about her. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gaga is self aware of the controversy and discomfort around that subject with her being white. Then again if Gaga does sing about race issues I think she will sing about it in a non narcissistic way unlike Macklemore. And "curly hair". Bitch, other races have curly hair.

Whether she likes it or not being white has given her an advantage in life and she needs to recognize that. I completely acknowledge and accept that people of color are disadvantaged but Gaga is ethnic Italian (she isn't naturally blonde) and she has said many times that she was setback for "being too ethnic." The phrase "people of color" encompasses far more people than just black people. (Not to rule anyone out or anything) In fact, that describes anyone from non-caucasian heritage.

I'm just glad she hasn't become an #AllLivesMatter kind of girl, no matter how oddly worded that tweet was. I don't want or need that from her as a POC right now, lol I agree. I'm sure she would never be stupid enough to tweet that though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's smart, and I'm more than sure that she's learned so much socially and politically these last few years to know that. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STDMNC 368 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Guys, she's European, and y'know, Italian. + Am I the only one who can't put a color/race to Lady Gaga? She seems ethinicless, but she says she's Italian. She doesn't strike me as human, she's an alien. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 105,627 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I hate when people say stuff like this. NO. You ARE something and you better be proud! Gaga, you are WHITE and should be proud. Just recognize any advantages that may give you and use your platform to make us all more equal. Don't deny what you are to be politically correct. It's bullshit and everyone who says they are "colorblind" know it. You are not colorblind. How about seeing color and not discriminating? You don't have to be blind to it. Smear all that black on my face and I still won't treat you as a subhuman. That is true equality /rant Don't quote me if you're gonna talk **** Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mucinex 4,260 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 people forget that gaga is bisexual and part of the LGBT community and a female which targets her to be harassed, though she is white, she isn't THAT privileged, though i agree sometimes she can be unaware of what she's doing like the 2009 V magazine shoot and songs like G*psy.

People of color isn't just black. It also includes Native Americans, Latinos (even the caucasian ones), Middle Easterns, Asians, etc and I understand what you mean about Gaga being ethnic. She doesn't look like the average "becky" white girl but she is still white just with darker features and she isnt really that pale. My father is italian and hes much darker than my hispanic mother. Gaga still does have white privilege but not as much as someone who looks like the typical caucasian like katy perry or taylor swift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
