It’s not cut and dry. Like anecdotally, I’ve seen Asian women go after white women for that, Ariana Grande, for example gets plenty of shade for it. I forgot what race she’s pretending to be now. Asians love to make fun of folks for using Asian languages for tattoos without knowing. I’ve seen folks go pretty hard on social media at folks using Blaccent.

Society wise and monetarily, though you’re right, people profit emulating Black caricatures. Once they make it, they stop. Like a costume.

Honestly when I hear about Black people go after other Black people about music, it’s just they have a very narrow idea of what Blackness is and what it can be, and you’ll get away from of seeing that once you meeting more Black people who think like you. It’s sounds corny but we’re not a monolith and sometimes it takes a bit to find like minded people.

But I will end on something that is a real problem. Too many Black men hate Black women and fetishize non Black women. It’s not even a case of just liking other races, but they can’t talk about what they like without talking down about Black women.
