I agree with her that its a double standard. Women (and some men) put drain cleaner on their scalps to straighten out the kinks everyday but we don't call them self haters. We also have light skinned black women who go to tanning salons (Raven admitted to doing it during That's So Raven) which can cause Cancer but everyone thinks its cute.
Azalea should embrace her natural color cause I think it adds to her appeal, but I can't call her a self hater and then ignore the fact that Rihanna, Keri Hilson, and FLOPica have never worn their natural hair texture in the 10+ years they've been celebrities.
The thing is
Although I think being who you are is superior to everything else
With hair for example, theres a laundry list as to why someone would add tracks to their scalp. I'm sure the fact that the world believes those of European descent are the standard of beauty influence that though, in most cases.
But when it comes to skin, theres literally only ONE reason why someone would bleach everything: They think lighter skin is more beautiful
Now, if you're a discolored, patchy, vanilla swirl mess, I understand. But Azaelia had PERFECT skin.

The girl HATES herself. Point blank.
She can save the 'but Bey, rih! weave! nails!'
