That should be especially non-music folks think it’s the greatest album of all time. Music folks think it was a good dance-pop album with little soul and not much emotional resonance.

Do you realize how goddamn difficult it is to be a great classical actor? They need training and opportunities. Without that, they won’t become great. Whites aren’t getting those opportunities.
So there is something empowering about merely calling Naomi Osaka Japanese, whether it be in headlines or advertisements. And it’s a correct assertion: she is Japanese. Her biraciality does not make her less so.
