Pink playing coy over questions of her race early in her career, saying, “They totally think I’m mixed! I’m like, whatever! Like, I’m a mutt we all are.”

I gasped irl

[u/MsBit_Commit → u/thedeadwax]

My parents’ generation has used the term “mutt” in my hearing to refer to being descended from a bunch of different European countries (all white) but it’s like, profoundly vile to imply that mixed race people are somehow less than “purebred” like WHAT

[u/sfocolleen → u/MsBit_Commit]

It’s me, I’m your parents generation, I say this about myself all the time. My Latino spouse’s family was really confounded that I couldn’t state that I was just German or Irish or Hungarian or Canadian or Scottish or, well you get the point. Too many countries to name.

[u/Flagermusmanden → u/sfocolleen]

This has always confused me about America. Like, I will always hear Americans say that they are Italian, Dutch or Irish etc. But, isn't it basically statistically impossible for an American to be only one thing?

[u/AtriCrossing → u/Flagermusmanden]

Not really. How recently a person's ancestors moved (or were moved) from another country varies from person to person. A lot of the time when people move to a the US, they end up in communities with other people who have similar ethnic backgrounds. This can be by design, moving somewhere where other people are known to speak your language, practice your religion, etc. - it can also be about privilege, access to services, and where job opportunities and housing can be found at a given time.

Go to any major American city and you'll find at least one neighbourhood named (or nicknamed) for an ethnic group who live there, if not many. If you are living and working near people, there are more chances to fall in love and have kids. You also have to consider the legal impact of racism in the US and actual historical (but in living memory) laws against people of different "races" getting married.

Some communities are more insular than others. Think of the Amish, for example. A lot of them are probably genuinely just Dutch-American.

All this to say, I wouldn't meet someone and assume that have only one ethnic identity, but it's not as rare or unlikely as you may perceive to be.

[u/colosseumdays → u/MsBit_Commit]

exactly. I hear white people refer to themselves as mutts often, and that's fine and none of my business or concern. but don't go using that sort of language towards anyone else

[u/wanderrslut]

Is that a blaccent lite or am I hearing too deeply?

[u/Fragrant-Tradition-2 → u/wanderrslut]

I feel like Pink was very Black-coded, or was marketed to be or attempted to be, in the early 2000s.

[u/AugustIzFalling → u/Fragrant-Tradition-2]

It was her first album specifically. Can't Take Me Home. She blamed LA Reid for it but never acknowledged her participation or the nature of what she was portraying.

[u/scrapsforfourvel → u/AugustIzFalling]

According to that article, her mom was originally shopping her around with two other girls as a trio of white R&B singers.

[u/r3volver_Oshawott → u/scrapsforfourvel]

This is correct, she was in a girl group that died quick, then Babyface and a handful of others got their mitts on her and started marketing her very specifically as a white R&B artist like it was some kind of fun niche

[u/AugustIzFalling → u/r3volver_Oshawott]

"L.A. told me/you'll be a pop star/all you have to change/is everything you are." Oh it was all L.A. Reid's idea? 🧐

[u/SuperFrylock → u/AugustIzFalling]

Notice the hypocrisy. Pink presents herself as a victim of the industry. She was forced to change her identity to become a star. That's sad, right? But when it comes to other stars like Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson, Pink doesn't consider if they were forced or coerced into similar positions. Nope, they are STUPID GIRLS.

[u/fiercelyambivalent → u/SuperFrylock]

Pink was the original NLOG. We loved her for being “real” and didn’t realize how badly she preyed on our insecurities with that.

[u/colosseumdays → u/AugustIzFalling]

she really tried to make it out like she was some mousy blonde LA Reid plucked out from behind the register at a Joann Fabrics and slapped some doorknockers on. I'm no LA Reid apologist, but be fucking forreal, lady.

also, the only silver lining to her existence is the song "most girls" off her debut album, so--

[u/kettal → u/AugustIzFalling]

i always thought L.A. meant Los Angeles

[u/AugustIzFalling → u/kettal]

A very reasonable inference but she did acknowledge it and had someone play him in the video.

[u/tres-vip → u/Fragrant-Tradition-2]

They did this a lot with White artists back in the 90s in an attempt for "crossover" appeal. Vanilla Ice, for example lol

[u/theagonyaunt → u/tres-vip]

Kid Rock anyone? Grew up rich in Romeo, Michigan, spent his whole career up until recently cosplaying as a black guy from Detroit.

[u/Grass_Touching_666 → u/theagonyaunt]

Yes and now he's Rob Ritchie, out here cosplaying like he's working class in his Carhartt/ball cap, and singing about the bible.

[u/theagonyaunt → u/Grass_Touching_666]

He's always done the working class cosplay, it was just for years it was black working class and then sometime in the 2010s switched it up to white redneck working class.

They also tried to market Madonna as racially ambiguous when her first single came out. her face wasn't on the cover

[u/TeaOk2254 → u/Fragrant-Tradition-2]

Of course, I can't speak for Pink, but that "marketed to be" is probably so very true for a number of celebrities. We've certainly her enough from them about what studios and production companies demand & push... It sounds like few have very much agency at all in how the Studio markets them.

[u/sweetrebel88 → u/Fragrant-Tradition-2]

She really was. I remember it in real time and I thought she was black for a long time

[u/YouHadMeAtTaco → u/Fragrant-Tradition-2]

I actually thought she was because of all the marketing during this time period.

[u/Relevant-Peach3997 → u/wanderrslut]

Its especially ridiculous bc she grew up in the extremely white Doylestown, Pennsylvania

[u/Luna_Soma → u/Relevant-Peach3997]

Yeah I’m from the area and a lot of us knew her or knew someone who knew her. It’s a well off, white, suburban town and the people in the town act like you’d stereotypically expect for that demographic

Lol, so the Vibe article from 2000 that said that she grew up in a "racially diverse neighborhood in North Philadelphia" wasn't accurate either?

As someone who isn't from the area, the article's description just makes it sound to me like she grew up in an area similar to the one described in the Fresh Prince theme song

[u/Relevant-Peach3997 → u/pennoya_neutral]

As of the 2010 census it was 94.8% Non-Hispanic White lmfao.

That's...actually hilarious, a lot of her lyrics on Misundastood (or however it's spelled I haven't listened to it in 20 years) imply that she was like from the wrong side of the tracks, growing up in big bad Philadelphia

[u/pennoya_neutral → u/howardfitzwatersego]

I looked it up. On that album, she had a song about moving to California about how she was getting out of the ghetto of Philadelphia. She said:

I'm like a rabbit on the run
Philadelphia freedom
Well it's not like you have heard, no, no, no
This city of brotherly love is full of pain and hurt

I'm going to California
To find my pot of gold

Corruption on every corner
Hustlers selling sweets
Baby is home crying
While her mom is on the streets
Everybody's dying
Have you heard the news today?
A woman in north Phili is mourning
A bullet took another son away

I'm going to California
There's a better life for me

[u/tequilasauer → u/wanderrslut]

So many of these pop artists were doing this in the 90s. We look back and think it was weird now, but like Justin Timberlake, Nick Carter, Christina, etc. did this shit all the time and everyone loved them. You were honestly the weird one if you thought this shit was lame. I know because I was one of the metal kids.

[u/AroundTheBlockNBack → u/tequilasauer]

Britney was the only one at the time that didn’t put on a blaccent or market herself as urban.

[u/tequilasauer → u/AroundTheBlockNBack]

Yeah and it was especially in contrast to "X-tina" whose voice went from like sweetheart Mickey Mouse Club alum (like Brit) to like Chicago South Side in the span of a year and a half.

Or of course Justin. We laugh at Michelle Williams impression of him now, but this guy was the king of TRL in 1998.

[u/Asleep_Assistant_468 → u/tequilasauer]

Michelle Williams reading as Britney impersonating (her assistant?) impersonating JT. Michelle should have gotten a Grammy for that!

[u/tequilasauer → u/Asleep_Assistant_468]

In my head cannon, Michelle saw this part and like practiced for several days getting this just right. She knew exactly what she was doing with this impression. There's just a little hint of snark to it.

Thorgy was on the Pit Stop (the Drag Race episode reaction show), Bob the Drag Queen was hosting.

[u/scrapsforfourvel]

Wtf?

"In between shoplifting and raving, she was experimenting with music and adopted the stage name Pink, the origins of which vary from a nod to Mr. Pink from Reservoir Dogs to a reference to her vagina which, she told Playboy in 2002, dawned on her when she relented to her friend’s pleas to know what a white girl’s vagina looks like (pink, like every other vagina). After that, Moore says that she, the only white girl in her friend group, was dubbed Pink."

[u/InterestingBench3 → u/PhoebeHannigan]

I would also like to put extra emphasis on the obsessed part. This tour was 2004, 3 years after Lady Marmalade and 2 years after Beautiful. She hated Christina for getting the big note in LM and hated her even more for not only working with Linda Perry, but also getting Beautiful.

It was wild when people would call this a “feud” because it was one-sided for DECADES. Christina rarely acknowledged her

[u/sstrawberrypanic → u/SnurrCat]

How nasty and evil of a spirit do you have to have in order to do this not once, but EVERY night of your tour?

I think blackfishing is more accurate here than blackface, she never deliberately made her skin darker to appear Black (afaik). instead it was her voice, her accent & persona, her first album being R & B, etc.

[u/wil8can]

Yes she sucks AND her music is absolute ass

[u/Salt-Buffalo-2804]

But Britney and Christina were fake. Yep.

She’s a Jewish white girl from PA. What is she playing at?

I can’t think of a single song I enjoy by this woman. Everything is so damn corny and fake

[u/Healthy-Neat-2989]

I hated her back in the day. She was transparent AF in her chameleon money grab. Then I read some shit about how she was manipulated and I felt kinda bad for her. Then she said some good shit about raising daughters and I thought, ok, she’s grown up into a decent person. NOPE. Brakes. Back the fuck up. She is who I thought she was.

She’s always been a loser fr

Never really liked her music either.

[u/Financial-Painter689]

People clocking her shit and dragging it all up after so many years is the only reason for that weird ass statement she just released.

Fuck St!nk

[u/Clairvoient_Carl]

Girl, no one thought you were black. 

[u/ThatSICILIANThing → u/Clairvoient_Carl]

Genuinely, I’ve never understood how anyone was fooled or legitimately thought she was black fishing. She has ALWAYS come off like a standard run of the mill lower middle class white girl that maybe went to school with a lot of black people and just started talking like them. We’ve all known at least one Pink.

[u/MelonLayo]

Macklemore said, "peace and love for all" and she said "that scawed me uwu." Fuck this racist ass bitch.

[u/minarings]

the blaccent ☠️☠️☠️

Yeesh

[u/Such_Detective_6709]

Fuck Pink, free Palestine.

[u/bluntlordious]

The amount of people that dont realize that pink was a b team player at best who got brought up from the minors because 'punk' was trending and she could nail that aesthetic and make money for the industry

[u/Mediocre_Tomatillo85]

She used to say she's not white or black she's pink. Funny how you don't hear that BS anymore.

[u/TheVonSolo]

She should just stick to her trapeze act to appeal to millennial wine mums or something
