She said her mother is Jamaican & Chinese while her father is Polish and black, her parents are mixed bruh :comeon: I don't care about the one drop shyt her parents may be black because social standards in America are on some "if you ain't white you ain't right shyt" so you're consider black by default.

However logically DNA wise / genetically her parents and herself are mixed and you can't ignore that :yeshrug:.

I think she's low-key talking about something bigger than some Canadian culture shyt.

In the USA nobody considers that mixed.

Lol

Every other Black American got a light skins as parents and create a light skin kid and they are just Black.

All of us are mixed up. The typical Blac American is 75 to 80 percent Black.

Stephen Curry is a prime example.

Mixed to most of us mean one of your parent is non-Black, have no Black ancestry.

We don't sit here make a list of nationalities and try to claim mixed status, that's some Canadian and Euro shyt. That's Instathot shyt. That's Hollywood shyt.

Jhene Aiko is mixed
Drake is mixed

Ayesha Curry is the typical lightskin chick in the USA and she would know that of she grew up here.

I don't agree, but to each his own I guess :manny:.

Some Times when you have a big vocabulary and don't have typical black accent Kats I'll say you talk white, which practically my life story when I was a jit, got older and picked up habbits along the way so me accent and vocabulary is mixed between urban and and proper but things like this are examples of how if you move a certain way some kats won't really respect it cause you don't fit the mold... or their particular mold on what blackness is.

but at the same time some of our people if your someone like cardi b the'll accept because you embody there version of American Blackness... but if a white person imitates or embodies, or expects you to behave like that then they will they will say thats stereotypical and racist... which at the same time it is but... Lol

On being taken seriously: “I think a lot of people do not take me seriously,” “They think this is something I’ve obtained because of my husband’s income. That’s not true. He hasn’t invested a dime in my restaurant business.”

This gal needs to keep quiet now!

I can understand the simple slip up before, but this statement means she thinks there isn't any social capital from her husband is laughable,!

Paraphrased :jawalrus:



On being taken seriously
: “I think a lot of people do not take me seriously,” “They think this is something I’ve obtained because of my husband’s income. That’s not true. He hasn’t invested a dime in my restaurant business.”

On Detractors: “It’s this weird hierarchy of misogyny,” she says. “When my career was starting to take off, this male reporter bashed me on live television, saying I should be more like the other [basketball] players’ wives. He literally said, ‘They sit there, they don’t cause any problems, and they look pretty.’”

“Why am I not allowed to have a passion and a dream and a voice?” she marvels. “That started a fire in me. I could not be stopped, and I wanted to prove myself. Now the conversation has shifted. Stephen doesn’t get any negative [questions] about me. Especially in the Bay Area, people say to him, ‘I like her food a lot,’ and that’s been special for me.”

On identifying as Black: Her mother is Jamaican and Chinese, and her dad is Polish and African American. “Growing up in Canada, I identified as all things,” she says of her childhood in Toronto, where her neighbors were mostly Asian and Indian. “Then I moved to North Carolina at 14, and that was a culture shock. That’s where I realized, I’m a black woman, something I’ve grown into appreciating and loving.” It’s also a lesson she’s passing on to her daughters. “They’re fair in complexion, and they’ve said: ‘I’m not black; look at my skin.’ And I said: ‘No, no, no. You’re a black woman. You have melanin. It’s part of who you are. Our descendants are from Africa. This is what that means.’ It’s been a journey teaching them that.’”

On what the black community could do better: “My own community needs to embrace everyone better. Sometimes I feel like I’m too black for the white community, but I’m not black enough for my own community. That’s a hard thing to carry. That’s why my partnership with CoverGirl was special for me because I felt like I didn’t fit the mold [of a CoverGirl],” she adds. “I’m not in the entertainment industry, in the traditional sense. I’m not thin; I’m 170 pounds on a good day. It’s been a journey for me, and that’s why I want my girls to understand who they are—and to love it.”

On "botched" boob job: “I didn’t realize at the time, but after having Ryan, I was battling a bit of postpartum that lingered for a while. It came in the form of me being depressed about my body,” she explains. “So I made a rash decision. The intention was just to have them lifted, but I came out with these bigger boobs I didn’t want. I got the most botched boob job on the face of the planet. They’re worse now than they were before. I would never do anything like that again, but I’m an advocate of if something makes you happy, who cares about the judgment?”

Read the rest of the interview here. I think it's an interesting read for the most part: People Didn't Take Working Mom Ayesha CurrySeriously. They Should Have
