Singer Camila Cabello was forced to issue an apology on social media after after receiving criticism for apparently racist posts she made as a teenager on a Tumbler account.
As The Daily Wire reports:
On Wednesday night, “Havana” singer Camila Cabello issued an apology on social media after she received backlash for racially insensitive posts she shared on an old Tumblr account when she was 15-16 years old.
The posts have since been deleted by Cabello, though they were first archived by an offended Twitter user flagging the account.
“When I was younger, I used language that I’m deeply ashamed of and will regret forever,” the 22-year-old pop star started her apology. “I was uneducated and ignorant and once I became aware of the history and the weight and the true meaning behind this horrible and hurtful language, I was deeply embarrassed I ever used it.”…
One of the posts Cabello shared was an image of the “Winnie the Pooh” character of Piglet with darkened skin and a caption including a racist play on the N-word. Another post was a fake Google search that mocked the Chinese language. An image of a white female basketball player shielding a black female basketball player from a bucket of fried chicken was also shared.
The singer has tried her hand at political activism in the past, supporting the Obama enacted DACA program and voicing her opposition to President Trump.
