"I can't use this perfumed watered down white people shampoo," Halsey said. "Neither can 50% of [your] customers. Annoying."
The singer's tweets have since divided the internet. Some are praising the artist for highlighting an important issue, which they say is just one example of how white privilege can permeate everyday life — leading people of color to feel excluded, inconvenienced, or neglected.
Halsey later acknowledged the debate over her tweets but said she was "not sorry" for raising the issue."Who knew me acknowledging that white hair care products are the national standard (while POC are confined to a tiny aisle) would piss so many people off?" she tweeted.
The singer also responded to people who have asked her why she doesn't just bring her own shampoos when she stays in hotels. "I'm fortunate enough to be financially in a position to do so," Halsey said, "but POC traveling frequently for work/medical reasons might not be."
OMG this is horrifying, HORRIFYING, racism!

In a series of tweets, the 23-year-old singer, whose father is black and mother is white, argued that the free shampoos hotels provide "entirely [alienate] people of color."
"I can't use this perfumed watered down white people shampoo," Halsey said. "Neither can 50% of [your] customers. Annoying."

You have dry, itchy scalp?Quote from: "Bricktop"
No, but those that do are victims of normal scalp privilege. How long will it be before we rise against the injustice dry scalps face.
