Her comments have IRL repercussions
Camila ooh na-na, that’s not going to fly girl. The Havana singer was back in the headlines this week, and not for her much hyped relationship with Shawn Mendes, but instead for a series of recently unearthed racist posts from her old Tumblr account. On December 17, Twitter account @motivatefenty shared a thread with links to Cabello’s Tumblr account and several of the posts in question .
Another age-related factor to take into consideration is socialization. “For me, the biggest factor [that affects the ability to discern right from wrong] is the family in which we’re being raised,” Dimerman says. “In terms of developing a moral conscience or thinking what’s right versus wrong, a lot of that is part of what you grow up believing and what is taught implicitly and explicitly within the family, and especially by parents and the influences that our parents exposed us to.
But that doesn’t mean she’s off the hook And while it’s important to take into consideration the fact that Cabello’s adolescent thinking was likely informed by a particular environment or the values being taught around her, that shouldn’t necessarily be enough to let her off the hook. When Yamikani Msosa, a Toronto-based Anti-Violence Educator, initially saw the posts from Cabello’s Tumblr account, she wasn’t actually that surprised.
Because her words—or lack thereof—do have an affect on people And although Dimerman wants to give Cabello the benefit of the doubt, seeing her apology to fans as healthy and a good example for younger fans, Msosa is careful to see her apology as an identifier of growth. Especially because her apology itself left a lot to be desired. While Cabello did refer to the language she used as “horrible” and “hurtful,” she never once named it for what it is: racist.
