In a modern society where everyone has already been engulfed with the use of technology \u2014 specifically the wave of social media, there are many ways for people nowadays to alter information and even appearances. While others might not find it strikingly offensive, it is important to consider even the littlest detail of these features for others from a historical standpoint. <\/p>\n
Today, several issues, hashtags, and movements have risen to a new height, highlighting the terms such as \u201ccatfishing\u201d, \u201cAsian fishing\u201d, and the term \u201cBlack fishing\u201d \u2014 which is coined by journalist Wanna Thompson on a twitter post that discusses the phenomenon of non-black personalities and internet influencers using tanning, bronzer, photoshop and even using cosmetic surgeries to appear black or mixed-race \u2014 people capitalizing on black culture while disregarding black history, an issue where many people fail to understand deeply the offensive implications of this to people of the Black community.<\/p>\n
\nCan we start a thread and post all of the white girls cosplaying as black women on Instagram? Let\u2019s air them out because this is ALARMING.<\/p>\n
