Show don't tell Lans, that line's getting old quick

She said the album is out next month again tonight.

as much as i love shitposting, some of this needs to be taken to a different thread. 

poetry book was just a distraction until she got her nfr release date sorted w her label. it was a red herring. next. 

Not trying to contribute to like....any off-topic-ness, but I just wanna say that you're not incorrect, technically, but in the White Bread American Vernacular, which is definitely Lana's language, you say Spanish and nine times out of the ten you mean Mestizo Latinos, not Spaniards. Nationally Spanish people are largely White Europeans, anyways, so it wouldn't be a big deal if she borrowed a bit of paprika to zest herself up, or whatever. The problem is that we have the added context of Tropico with all of the cholos and her general aesthetic to know that she's aiming more for East Los Angeles. 
 
I feel like arguing about Lana's like...problematic aspects is pointless, anyways. Nobody should be looking to a pop star for political input, because as well-intentioned as many of them are, they tend to be insulated from the working class and therefore their input is vapid as Hell in the best case. Lana's your typical upper-middle class White Neoliberal, with a touch of yoga kombucha mom. She's not really got much to add, and her interaction with the cultures of people of colour is not the greatest. Those blatantly racist lyrics are not hers, though, I think that much is obvious. She's got a lot of blind spots, sure, but she's not that kind of stupid. 

gays are so useless

You called?
 

Hello, it's the worst-driving woman you know on the iPad
 

a concept
 

being spanish isn't a race guys, it's a nationality but yeah I'd agree she's stereotyping by suggesting they all have black hair. my concern mostly has been her appropriation of latina culture and her 'thing' about americana which is historically an atrocious and repressive concept towards towards black people, indigenous people and people of colour 
 
anyway as you were all saying 

the vinyl is going to be 

as a Latin I can say that we're more worried about the fact that americans STILL control our politics than a random alternative pop singer saying that she wants to look spanish. You want to do something for latin people? Study how imperialism still fucks us, study how americans gave money to the military dictatorship here etc. Stuff like a girl dying her hair black really isn't that important to us. 

You know things are bad in the thread when we start having racial debates

The problem with people nowadays is they like to be offended by everything because it makes them feel like a good human being when in reality its just unnecesary bullshit that really isn't deep enough to get upset over, such an ego boost isnt it

Fuck. Ok so I guess since we'll b trailing off about this for the next few pages or so. Is there a type of appropriation of culture in regards to social class? Bc I remember her singing about million dollar men and bugatti's like she was on commercial etc and now we know her as a disciple of mazzy star

...no? that's not what anyone is saying

K I’m just gonna say this one more time, for the people in the back. If I say “I only like people with dark hair” “I only like people with black hair” “I only like people with big noses” “I only like people with short hair” etc. No, that is obviously not racist. However, if I say “I only like Spanish people” “I only date asian people” “I won’t date a black person” etc. it IS racist bc I’m making generalizations, assumptions, and stereotyping about all people in a certain race and fetishizing them. Not to mention, Lana saying she wants to dye her hair black to look more “Spanish” is cultural appropriation because she is trying to benefit off a culture that she is not a part of. Its like a white person saying “hey i’m going to get dreadlocks and golden grills bc I want to look more black so my boyfriend will like me more”
If none of yall can see a problem w this then thats cool, stay ignorant x x.
Its funny how a simple Wikipedia search can prevent u from being ignorant and complacent

Maybe her wifi's slow so she can't tweet any updates. 

I heard the party host was lame so I’m good.

Is the noodle boy literally on every Lana show and everytime in the front row? And y’all have an audacity to say we need a life

Elle and i agree if NFR isnt out in Aug we will delete this site.

AHJSGHJSBDG NO............. Lana Delery really is the transracial Latina pop kween huh

She’s just saying she wants to be his type wtf lol it’s not that deep, chill

Y’all won’t believe that she posted racist, cringe-y lyrics on a burner Twitter account, but then witness her changing her own lyrics to “send nudes to you” and the unforgettable “I dye my hair a darker shade of brown,
Because you like your women Spanish” Black Beauty lyrics... make it make sense
