Was this really offensive?
Just a few days after her rapping partner, JT, was released from jail, Yung Miami was given another cause for celebration. On Friday, Yung Miami gave birth to her first child with 808 Mafia producer, Southside. They named their daughter, Summer, and shared a few photos of their newborn in the hospital.
One photo showed Summer sleeping in a pink blanket alongside her father, surrounded by balloons. In another photo, the baby girl is dressed in an adorable frilly skirt and a customized diaper.
While people were heartwarmed to see these adorable pictures, the City Girls artist followed this post with a IG story that halted the cheer. Over an all-black screen, Yung Miami wrote, “I’m convinced I have to be Chinese or Asian! My baby is everything!” The message had some accusing her of “anti-blackness,” People also mocked her saying “Chinese or Asian.”
Here are some of Twitter’s reaction to the rapper’s compliment below. What do you guys think? Is the internet just giving Miami a hard time?

I can’t stand when black people want their children to look every other way besides black.

Or worse when they think their child is so beautiful that those features have to be attributable to other races aside from their blackness.

Black people always say this when their baby has small, squinty eyes. As if a newborn baby’s eyes are fully and permanently formed within days after birth.
