What is Asian-fishing?
Asian-fishing is a term primarily used on social media to describe a controversial phenomenon where individuals not of Asian descent deliberately style their appearance, way of dressing, or behavior to resemble those of Asian descent. This can include specific makeup techniques or the use of Asian aesthetics.
Ariana Grande accused of Asian-fishing
The topic of Asian-fishing and "impersonating" individuals of other nationalities comes back to Ariana like a boomerang. Internet users have repeatedly accused the singer of deliberately lightening or darkening her skin or manipulating her makeup depending on the effect she aims to achieve.
A photo appeared on the singer's Instagram, where she is styled to resemble a person of Asian descent. Her complexion appears very pale, and lines are drawn to visually elongate her eyes. Additionally, she sports two buns on her head, which align perfectly with the local aesthetic. A TikTok user expressed outrage at the artist's actions, recording a video criticizing the star's behavior.
