I consider Halsey white. Based on how I've seen her presented 100% of the time, I will stick to that. Braids don't suddenly make someone black. She could tell me she was half black and I wouldn't give a fukk about it. I could meet her father and I'd still consider his daughter white based on who she is and how she carries herself / who she associates with, which is white people. Nothing about who created her would change that.
On the other hand I consider Zoe black because she is more brown. But at the same time, seeing some of her press comments lately, I can't say I'm surprised she doesn't see herself that way.
Is it unfair? Absolutely. Do I give a fukk? Absolutely not. Would smash both of them into oblivion while ignoring debating this shyt with either of em
