Say hello to "blackfishing" A student from Birmingham is accused of feigning blackness.
A student from Birmingham who has a sizable social media following has been charged for "blackfishing."
Cultural critics have coined the phrase to characterize someone who is charged with trying to be black on social media.
They purportedly accomplish this by significantly changing their appearance with the help of cosmetic surgery, hair products, and makeup.
Last month, a Twitter conversation brought the contentious topic into the public eye.
The post charged white girls for "cosplaying on Instagram as black women.
A astonishing 23,000 people retweeted the trending string of tweets.
One of those accused is Aga Brzostowska, a student at the University of Birmingham.
The 20-year-old admitted that she uses makeup to make her skin darker despite the fact that it is "not pale" by nature.
She admitted: "I don't think I've done anything malevolent with things like tanning."
I don't feel the need to stop doing something since, after all, why would I stop something that benefits or makes me happy?"
In her images, Aga, who prefers to go by Alicja, has darker skin, larger lips, and several hairstyles, including curls and braids.
The most notorious is Emma Hallberg from Sweden, who has more than 260,000 Instagram followers.
Twitter users have started sharing two images of Aga.
She admits that one was taken more recently and one was taken when she was 13: ""And it makes sense to use my pictures, because without looking at anything or knowing me, it makes sense to put those two pictures together because obviously you can see a mad difference - a crazy difference," the Twitter thread began.
Therefore, I'm not very offended that someone utilized the photos without my knowledge. It makes sense in light of their intended message."
The disparities, according to her, are entirely natural and the result of hard work in the gym and one being taken soon after a vacation.
Aga claims that she wore braids in one picture because a friend's sibling was starting a hair business and needed models for pictures.
The 20-year-old believes that "stereotypes" are to blame for people being shocked when they learn she is white.
"Although I'm proud to be Polish, I don't know why my looks are the way they are. I can't help it that I don't have the usual Polish features; instead, I have huge lips "she claims.
It has frequently been observed that "Blackfish" favors aesthetics that they believe to be stereotypically connected with black women.
They are charged with exploiting this to gain followers on social media or even sponsorship deals.
The movement is criticized for being a sort of cultural appropriation.
The freelance writer Wanna Thompson has outlined the reasons why blackfishing is so "troubling" in the popular Twitter thread.
Thompson claimed that the procedure was "just enough to hang on to racial ambiguity without really dealing with the ramifications of blackness" on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour.
"It's quite distressing when you see that folks who profit from white privilege are able to get both sides of the coin," she said in closing.
