Her video has amassed nearly 300,000 views, and she’s received tons of support.
Tearful Admission
“I’m also Black but I’m too scared to talk about it since I’m pale […] and don’t want Americans to attack me.”
Shared Experiences
Some users share her pain of mistaken identity, “I love that you said “no matter how much milk you add to your tea, it’s still tea”. I’m white as white but proud of my aboriginal heritage.”
Unheard Voices United
Users express gratitude for Emily’s courage in addressing the issue head-on.
“Yes!! ‘Black’ people have brown skin in all shades.”
