    I didn’t like her because I thought she was fake because she seems to switch what race she wants to call herself every couple years. But then I realized a lot of people are fake, and it’s hardly the worst character trait. The rest of her makes up for that as much as anyone.

      You know she had a social media manager handling her tweets? Even if she wrote that, she had it vetted by her manager to make sure it would hit well with her target demographic.

        We’re talking about more than just this one Tweet. Try to not look at everything through the most negative, cynical lens possible.

          Remember Taylor Swift. All talk, but when it came to climate change, she had to be shamed into limiting her private jet use.

          Disney was highly supportive of Queer rights, until they weren’t.

          Dixie Checks actually put something on the line and suffered for it. They even changed their name to distance themselves even more from that part of history. I doubt a social media manager would have approved any of that.

          Ariana Grande is just playing to her audience.
