Actually, your article is misinformed in many ways.

A. You clearly seem to propagate this victim complex within minorities. In America at least, we are at a day and age when POC embrace their culture. No one is ‘reprimanded’ anymore. At the very least, it certainly doesn’t happen to the scale you imply it does. Empower people.

B. BUWYGIB is not appropriating queers. In your victim mindset, you have completely overlooked the significance of the video. There is a reason the other girl in the video looks very similar to her. It’s supposed to be a version of her. Think of it as a metaphorical expression of self-love and being in a relationship only when you’re ready, a theme this is prominent on the album.

C. You seem to be standing up for minorities but at the same time also openly discriminate against Grande. If you really want to be politically correct, you would know that rap is a genre with roots in the African-American culture. Eminem, evidently, is not African-American. Neither is G-Eazy. Neither are Lil Pump. Yet, when a woman, who is a singer, ‘raps’, she is accused of cultural appropriation? Additionally, she is really good friends with Nicki Minaj, one of the cornerstones of the rap community. If Nicki Minaj praises Grande’s music, if a POC icon does so, why are you so offended by it?

D. The ‘shock’ twist is not because homosexuality is a shocker, rather because Ariana Grande kissed a girl. She is a celebrity. There will be coverage regarding everything they do. Ariana is currently in the prime of her fame. Literally, everything will make it to the news. Also, it’s been made very evident that Ariana Grande is straight. So, if anyone STILL thinks she’s queer, good riddance.
