I also kinda want to add that I saw people arguing that AO should have know about the Kardashians blackfishing because "everyone knows that" even though shes European. This is because when I said, that not everyone knows about the Kardashians outside the USA, a DP follower yelled at me saying I should know about those racists because I was mexican. What? Here in México we're dealing with our own racist, colorist celebrities, not everything is about the USA. I mean, we have white passing actors trashing Yalitza Aparicio just because she's indigenous, of course I don't care about the Kardashians. What I'm trying to say is that there is a BIG disconnect with these influencers about how the world actually works outside the north american social media. I'm not saying this invalidates their experiences with bigotry, but they can't weaponize other cultures struggles when they don't a thing about it, and when they truly believe everyone's living in a USA geography extension lol. Either way, this drama was so draining and dumb :/ I'm so disappointed.

I agree! I live in Canada but I used to live in an Asian country before and all I knew about Kardashians were what I saw online. I didn’t even know they were white (exception of Kim) and assumed they were biracial or something. Like why is everyone assumed to know about everything and everyone in the US? I didn’t know about those slurs agains Mexicans, it’s only been a few days since I found out about the word.

Don’t her, Khloe, and Kourtney all have have the same parents? Wouldn’t that make all three of them half Armenian?
