Little Mix break silence over Jesy Nelson blackfishing branding it harmful and problematic
Daily Mirror says Little Mix have broken their silence over ex-bandmate Jesy Nelson’s blackfishing row – branding her attitude “harmful and problematic to people of colour”.
In an eloquent interview with the Daily Telegraph Stella magazine Leigh-Anne Pinnock, whose BBC documentary, Leigh-Anne: Race, Pop and Power was a huge hit with fans, explains it is not acceptable to use harmful stereotypes.
She says: “Capitalising on aspects of blackness without having to endure the daily realities of the black experience is problematic and harmful to people of colour. We think it’s absolutely not OK to use harmful stereotypes. There’s so much to say on that subject that it’s hard to sum up in a sound bite.”
