Loved Lianne La Havas but recently found that she’s been brainwashed with the racist one drop rule American garbage. She used to proudly identify as mixed race but fed into racist Americans insisting that she has to claim just her mother and not her father. Very disappointing. I hope she gets wise that no one should listen to racist Americans who still have an issue with acknowledging that mixed race people exist.
Yes complete garbage.
