Camila Cabello issued an apology for racist posts she made as a teenager. On Wednesday, the 22-year-old pop star took to social media to issue an apology surrounding old online posts that have been deemed racist and/or offensive.

The posts, which seemingly resurfaced on Dec. 17, show previous Tumblr posts the singer shared around 2012 when she was a teenager.

 

Some of Cabello’s uploads and re-blogs included gifs, memes and comments (with a few containing the N-word) that were both derogatory and racist towards the Black community.

In response to being called racist, Camila Cabello posted a screenshot of her Instagram story apology on Twitter. Check it out:

 

Thankfully she doesn’t defend the content, but she does say she has changed. While it is a good apology there are some questions we need to ask; like why did she not take them down when her ideologies had changed?

We absolutely believe people should be not just encouraged to grow and learn and change but also allowed to do so. Racism isn’t in-built, it is learned behavior. And thankfully it can be unlearned.

But is this an example of taking responsibility? Or trying to put a spin on a bad PR situation? What do you think? Comment below.
