Miel 15,009 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I wouldn't call it appropriation. Cardi is Afro-Latinx, and Bruno is part-Afro-Latinx, and they are Black (although I don't know to the extent that they claimed it). A lot of the 90's cultural aesthetic they are referencing, while produced and recreated by Black folks, aren't exclusive to them. I mean, take a look at 90's cultural aesthetic throughout the United States- it was lived through many communities in the hood, Black and Latinx and Asian and Islander. OP's friend has a point about the video being very "lightskin", but that is a colorism issue that isn't necessarily due in part to Cardi or Bruno. It's a much bigger industry and societal problem altogether, even within Black and Latinx communities. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rape, homie. And in many regions around the world, we see the residual effect to this day. Hell, it still continues through current militarization and colonial occupation. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm honestly still shook that a lot of the world sees a lot of the history of racial mixing akin to the Disney version of Pocahontas. Like...

Los Angeles replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous People's Day. But yeah, I agree. Over the summer, I took an upper division literature class about Pacific Islander literature and media, and reading excerpts from Herman Melville's exploits in Polynesia made me sick. I loved Moby **** growing up, and he was kind of an author idol to me, but to read his descriptions on people that were likely ancestors of mine was... a lot, to take in lmao 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
