"Ni**erfishing," a newly created term that has rightfully set the Internet ablaze in the last week, has sparked a series of discussions surrounding white women 'cosplaying' as Black women on social media. Despite the unsubtle nature of the word, recognizing the concept of ni**erfishing brought to light numerous white women who have been impersonating Black women on social media with apparent success.
Since I was old enough to understand race and how it functions, I have critically observed that white women have been able to steal looks and styles from Black women, more specifically styles that Black women in lower-economic communities have pioneered.
