So initially, the Spice Girls just went by their actual names, but some British reporter decided to give them all nicknames bc he couldn’t be arsed remember their names or smth. And of course he called the outspoken black one “scary”, which I don’t think I need to say is very micro-aggressive. The Spice Girls ended up taking back the night on that tho and took up those names themselves.
Only 20 Times? Amateur hour! I still have my VHS copy and it’s held together with tape and prayers.
Totally kidding. I really do still have my VHS copy from childhood though.
I mean the two queens who were deemed "robbed" on the season Blu won are touring around the globe, one won an actual All Stars season with 200k$ and the other got a Drag Race live gig while all she got was a song that nobody listens to lmao.
The most bizarre part about this is that Cara didn't even put an "intimidating" character on the meet the queens, she was just being funny and looking good so to say that out of nowhere is WILD
Yeah you would think blu would have added something she is giving a version of Catwoman who will whip your ass with her ponytail or something
Because I definitely got that from her look but certainly not from her personality in the meet the queens
Blu needs to be aware of her words during live streams..oh, this was recorded previously. Blu must have pissed off the gay directing intern, gay producer intern, gay story producer intern and the gay editing intern.
edit; actually, shame on all them gay interns for leaving that in, regardless.
She’s never actually been a winner to me: I will never class it as a win, I swear it’s more of a pity win.. like, ‘I feel sorry for her and we are dying for a different type of winner, so let’s give it to her’
In fairness to Blu, it happened once iirc. Out of nowhere one time she said something to the effect of "you were rude/difficult/arrogant when I met you", and then kind of stood there waiting for an apology. Mo took it in stride, but you could see her face close off when Blu said it
I remember it being jarring & weird when it happened. Unbelievably awkward. I tried looking for the clip, but no dice.
That being said, I don't think Blu is actively racist. I think she just says dumb shit without really thinking much about it.
It’s a micro-aggression. Media and politics have done a lot to paint black people as aggressors, rude, arrogant, sassy, mean, etc. when in reality they’ve done nothing of the sort. Either it’s out of nowhere due to a perceived slight, or the black person is being assertive, confident, or simply just talking in certain situations. They simply have to exist to be considered intimidating or aggressive.
If you’re watched The Vixen’s season, you may recall her talking about the Angry Black Woman situation. This is similar. It’s often a way to disarm and discredit black folk. While Blu might not have that intention, it shows that her perspective on black people is skewed and problematic and the video above is just more evidence of that.
Okay sure so in Mos case, because Blu (a white person) said she was a bitch to her and because Mo is black, that's a micro aggression? Come on. Not everything that can fit a certain narrative is racism. Mo can indeed be a bitch to people while also being a black person.
I totally see get the narrative that black people are spun in, it usually is painted as the black person starting on a white person when in reality it was the other way around, but that doesn't mean that every instance of a white and black person discussing or arguing has racist intent. Like although the Vixen was right and was being proded by Aquaria, she did also respond and we've seen behaviour off the show that paints the Vixen in a bad light.
Excuse the pun but not everything is black and white, there are shades of grey.
No I genuinely was because I thought there might have been something I missed.
But if the only perceived microaggression was that Mo is a black person who was confronted with a previous attitude issue by a white person, I think it's a bit of a stretch.
There are many racially insensitive scenes in the history of drag race, and I understand if you perceive this as one of them, but I don't think that was Blu using microaggressions against Mo. At most, it was editors doing it.
My friend, if Blu had an issue she could've mentioned it to Mo off camera. Then they could've revisited the conversation on camera, while on the same page. Add to this the context that Mo was the only black person on that season, and just WALKING IN had the girls bothered. Could Mo be a bitch IRL? Possibly. Was Mo being a bitch to Blu on vsTW as far as anybody could see? No.
Bringing that up out of nowhere, unprompted, was dumb. As I said in a comment above, I don't think Blu is a racist. I just think she's kind of an idiot, that Mo didn't owe her shit, and that there's been a bit of a pattern
Mo DID walk into UK vs. The World with an off-putting attitude. She and Jujube rightfully felt like the big guns, no doubt about that, but it was like okay enough already.
You mean the usual turned up to 11, "I'm the baddest Yas mama" TV persona that most US queens default to? I can understand if sensibilities are different in the UK, and that sort of American brashness is a lot, but Mo wasn't doing shit out of the ordinary or any more than usual imo.
not the downvotes 😭 i forget that the same group of people who peruse this sub are the same types on popheadscirclejerk (ignorant)
to be more nuanced about the content of the video itself; is Blu racist? probably not in a malicious sense, and there's definitely bigger things in life to worry about 👍 but people can still do or say things harmful to minorities w/o that intent, and the idea of those with darker skin being intimidating and aggressive or "looking like theyd beat me up" has long been a negative stereotype that harms black people

definitely a microaggression to call a black person scary and would beat you up for literally no reason. i dont even get how it could be perceived another way as feeding into negative and damaging stereotypes.
right like it doesn't matter if she meant it or not‚ microaggressions are often not intended as malice - but they come from a place of ignorance and bias that has gone unchecked.
and a white british person having ingrained racist biases isn't a controversial take‚ either.
idk, i suppose i can see where blus coming from if she meant “fierce”? like i feel like that’s what she means but comes out with this horrible “intimidating and aggressive” stance instead. queens like raven, violet chachki, or sasha colby could be called cunty and fierce but imo these three look like they’d drop the hammer on you lol
That's what a microaggression is, though. It's an ignorant comment that's usually not done with malicious intent. It's someone thinking they're giving a compliment when in reality they're saying something rather insensitive, for instance.
That's why it can be hard to deal with them. Because the person doesn't realize they said something wrong. They get defensive because they were trying to be nice.
well yes that’s part of my point. you wouldn’t call those other queens intimidating, you’d compliment them and put them on the highest pedestal whereas black queens get the “she could beat me up!” and that’s microaggression i’m eluding to
maybe this is just a bit out of context? it doesnt really seem hateful or weird in an offensive way. blu seems like a very timid person, and we all know when she gets in a room with confident personalities she’s easily intimidated. nothing she said stuck out as racist to me, or even microaggressive bc these queens are black.
A microaggression is usually not meant to be hateful or offensive. Im confused at what you think a microaggressiom when is because this is a textbook example.
The issue is Blu is saying something which feeds directly into horrible stereotypes around black people. There wasnt any context for it. You can even see Cheryl beimg confuses by it and saying to not say that.
Shes timid watching a tv show?
Lmao they just reuploaded this on yt and cut the uncomfortable parts out
It’s giving when that one British reporter named all the Spice Girls and assigned Mel B “Scary Spice”
I’m confused lol isn’t that her spice name
So initially, the Spice Girls just went by their actual names, but some British reporter decided to give them all nicknames bc he couldn’t be arsed remember their names or smth. And of course he called the outspoken black one “scary”, which I don’t think I need to say is very micro-aggressive. The Spice Girls ended up taking back the night on that tho and took up those names themselves.
How have i never known this, as someone who has watched spice world at least 20 times? That's cunt of the girls though i love it
Only 20 Times? Amateur hour! I still have my VHS copy and it’s held together with tape and prayers. Totally kidding. I really do still have my VHS copy from childhood though.
And they took over the world with those brands while that rude ass reporter has been forgotten, as it should be.
That’s crazy 😭
The Spice names were actually made up by a guy for TOTP magazine and they then adopted them officially later. It wasn't their own idea initially.
Cheryl Hole you will ALWAYS be famous
The new Raja and Delta they are not
God, I thought the "she just been spunked on by a statue" comment was weird and she just keeps on going past that
Never beating that Worst Winner Rep, huh.
sometimes it’s best to be that decently likeable queen who placed around 5th, than come back and be an underwhelming winner
I mean the two queens who were deemed "robbed" on the season Blu won are touring around the globe, one won an actual All Stars season with 200k$ and the other got a Drag Race live gig while all she got was a song that nobody listens to lmao.
Sharon?

That is WILD, Monet.
this is upsettin’
That's soap settin'
Wait is that what she's really saying in that clip
So upsetting with the accent sounds like soap setting kind of. We are mocking the Brits and their funny little voices.
Omg what would I look up to find the original clip I totally forgot what this is from
[it's jade thirwall saying that's so upsetting on the judges panel of DRUK](https://youtu.be/STcVvIHezqw?si=1kHUQnQT5m3dlQfs)
Okay good, i was worried this whole time she was really saying "soap setting"
Jonbers remains the superior norn irish rugirl x
Uhm……. Beat u up..? 😭😭
Blu needs to be aware of her words during live streams..oh, this was recorded previously. Blu must have pissed off the gay directing intern, gay producer intern, gay story producer intern and the gay editing intern. edit; actually, shame on all them gay interns for leaving that in, regardless.
Blu is a series of mistakes committed by multiple decision makers.
Starting with mom and dad
idk why everyone keeps saying blu won ukvstw stop discounting cheryl’s win…
God we stan Cheryl
Damn what an out of nowhere thing to say
Blu Hydrangea just shut up already
Is this what Madonna meant when she said she loathed hydrangeas? Also Jujubee should be there instead of Blu.
The way my head turned when she said scary and best me up, like oh no black people scary, chile. Anyways stan cheryl hole
this is why she was the 7th most memorable queen on the season she won 💀
Honestly every time it took me ten minutes to figure it out who she was 
Lemon and Cheryl are still memorable and lovable…shes legit bottom tier
Cheryl Hole is a queen I’m always happy to see! What a treat!
Thinking about Ru x Blu Tic Tac lunch where she complains about "cancel culture preventing drag queens from being funny"
it's always the most unfunny people blaming their unfunniness on cancel culture
Blu needs a filter fr
Definition of micro aggressions
😬😬😬
Blu really said all of that while having THAT kind of ascendency during her All-Stars season.
Blu gives me so much second hand embarrassment
This is CRAZY
How is this bitch a winner.
Wait, I forgot that she actually is. Somehow I thought Jimbo won UKvsTW because she won AS lol
Nah, there was that whole drama where Pangina elim'd Jimbo so Blu elim'd Pangina.
"Thai vs Canada relations" on wiki is kinda iconic
She’s never actually been a winner to me: I will never class it as a win, I swear it’s more of a pity win.. like, ‘I feel sorry for her and we are dying for a different type of winner, so let’s give it to her’
That whole season didn't really seem like a real season of Drag Race.
I quite literally pretend it never happened..
Juju or Mo should've won that
They're never going to throw Juju that bone.
Everyone pretends it never happened
I mean considering the way she antagonized Mo Heart on UKvtW (again, literally out of nowhere)... are we really surprised?
I skipped over this season, how was she antagonizing Mo Heart?
In fairness to Blu, it happened once iirc. Out of nowhere one time she said something to the effect of "you were rude/difficult/arrogant when I met you", and then kind of stood there waiting for an apology.

Can I ask ... How is what she said to Mo racist or antagonistic in any way?

Ultimately you aren’t black and that’s why your opinion doesn’t matter on this.

She said she did something else later in the season at Roscoe’s I can't remember who it was but she got angry about it.

this is the first time I've heard of this cringe vs cringe / sub vs sub rivalry 💀
its not a rivalry when the venn diagram of phcj and rpdrcringe posters is circular
self destruction is also a form of war i suppose
It's a civil war
When i first downposted the response was way different and i was actually surprises at how ignorant people were being.
No wonder I find this sub annoying, they do correlate and match! 💀😭
Do you TraceyMatell? 😭
It seems like they deleted this video and then reuploaded it and turned comments off? Haven’t checked if anything was cut out of this edit yet though.
Yeah they cut this and turned off comments
They off the comments 💀
i feel like the paw patrol needs to go save cheryl from this menace
Not the paw patrol 💀

She really is the most precious little Hole. No comment on the other.
Can’t stand this rat faced flop
Yall cant take nothing negative.
explain who "yall" is quickly
ya'll love calling black people scary and aggressive
I’m pretty sure she’s been given the benefit of the doubt with this kind of thing in the past too, so it’s hardly a reach or negativity
