USA går i taket över svenska Emma Hallberg som påstås sminka sig svart

A Swedish model has found herself in hot water on social media after being accused of pretending to be black to get followers.

Emma Hallberg, 19, grew popular on Instagram for her impressive makeup looks and trendy outfits. She was also thought to be either black or mixed race due to her deep complexion and curly hair.

However, a few weeks ago, a photo of Hallberg surfaced on the internet, showing her with much lighter skin and completely straight hair.

“I honestly thought Emma hallberg was half black,” one user tweeted after seeing the photo.

“I thought she was mixed my girl is fully SWEDISH,” another fan wrote.

Another fan alleged that Hallberg was “blackfishing.”

“This Swedish White girl is guilty of ‘blackfishing,’ a term used to describe someone who masquerades as a Blk person to deceive others. By extreme tanning, dark makeup & braids, this fraud is exposed!”

Rachel Dolezal

Doležal was president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) chapter in Spokane, Washington from 2014 until June 2015, when she resigned in the midst of controversy over her racial identity.
She received further public scrutiny when her white parents publicly stated that Doležal was a white woman passing as black.[6][7][8][9][10] The statement by Doležal's parents in June 2015 followed Doležal's reports to police and local news media that she had been the victim of hate crimes;[9][11][12] however, a subsequent police investigation cast doubt on Doležal's allegations.[13]
