Zendaya called out Hollywood for its bias against dark skinned black women

She is their ideal vision of a “black” girl, and she is sick of it!

Ugly, stupid name (who the fuck does she think she is, going by a single name?), mediocre talent, insufferable personality...

when will her 15 minutes be up?

Not even Jada Pinkett cares about this thread.

by Anonymousreply 3August 4, 2020 9:38 PM

Well, she's not wrong. Someone like Lupita Nyong'o would probably have a better career if she had lighter skin.

by Anonymousreply 4August 4, 2020 9:40 PM

Light skinned black women doing blackface is a thing, apparently.

Zendaya is mixed, isn’t she? Does she ever acknowledge her White family? Because looking at her she certainly isn’t just “black” despite her saying this.

by Anonymousreply 6August 4, 2020 9:42 PM

She looks like she smells of weed & patchouli.

by Anonymousreply 7August 4, 2020 9:43 PM

When you’re light skinned, ya gotta be “Blacker than thou.” Ask the Black supremacy troll. He’s been quiet for a while.

by Anonymousreply 8August 4, 2020 9:47 PM

She is a black Karen! I will never forget the time she wanted to see the manager just because she exceeded the limit of gift cards and tried to accuse the poor employee of being racist for not selling them to her. It was a standard rule for everyone, but Zendayuck thinks she is special.

by Anonymousreply 9August 4, 2020 9:48 PM

Most people wouldn’t even know she’s black if she didn’t say. That is exactly why she brings it up so much. She’s not only light skinned ala Beyoncé, I’m pretty sure she’s mixed, as her hair is her own etc.

White boys love her.

by Anonymousreply 10August 4, 2020 9:50 PM

R8, you kind of have a point. Meanwhile, she's dating a guy who's the first result if you Google "white man."

by Anonymousreply 11August 4, 2020 9:50 PM

Even actresses like Pam Grier and Judy Pace were stars of blaxploitation films, never Hollywood films. They was never marketed towards a wider, [italic]whiter[/italic] audience.

She is supposedly dating this Australian actor, Jacob Elordi. He is in HBO Euphoria with her.

by Anonymousreply 17August 4, 2020 9:57 PM

She has to do this, she keeps getting chosen over other Black actresses and it IS because she is racially ambiguous. In order to not get hate from her Black female peers she better acknowledge the bias Hollywood has in casting.

Not like she's going to turn down work though eh?

by Anonymousreply 18August 4, 2020 9:57 PM

Her wide, flat features make her look like a frog.

And yes her bf is absolutely the most generic "white male model/actor" looking guy ever.

R15 then why keep screaming about your blackness? Like I said, most people wouldn’t even know she’s Black walking down the street if she didn’t scream it so they do

R19 She looks like Chrissy Teigen in that pic.

by Anonymousreply 21August 4, 2020 9:59 PM

r20, because Hollywood tends to cast nonblack women as black women. It's an issue - not for the white gays of DL, of course.

by Anonymousreply 22August 4, 2020 10:00 PM

This is true of all entertainment industries.

R20, see R18. She knows she has to pay lipservice to avoid a SJW backlash.

by Anonymousreply 24August 4, 2020 10:01 PM

R20 She talks about it because she knows she’s in a privileged position as a mixed/light skinned black woman and will get booked more because of it alone. Then there’s Zoe...:

This was from 2018. Has she since refused roles, turned down photo shoots so that her darker colleagues can get them?

Don’t think so. I can appreciate that their is prejudice, but I cannot stand pandering.

r4 How much better can Lupita's career be? She has an Oscar and starred in "Us", a massive box office hit.

Did she star in that? Or is she a featured player?

Giuliana Rancic’s weed and patchouli comment was the best thing that could have happened to Zendaya’s career.

The outrage over it made people take notice of her, and she suddenly became a spokesperson.

by Anonymousreply 40August 4, 2020 10:21 PM

She reminds me of that Hasley Tumblr girl who threw a fit over hotel shampoo and try to make it a black issue.

DNA testing has shown than there is very little African admixture in Sicilians.

She was only 18 during the gift card tantrum - more of an entitled child star than a Karen.

She doesn’t look Persian at all! Persian women are heavy browed, big boned and borderline masc looking.

Zendaya gonna ever acknowledge that she’s not “light skinned” but legitimately half white. She didn’t get that good hair from two black parents.
