Ya this Shaikha girl is definitely not Bahraini. Her accent is all over the place and one minute she's trying to sound SO m7aregi (iykyk) and other times it's off. While there are british schools in the gulf most of us speak Americanized English. Even if one were to attend a British school you wouldn't necessarily speak like a native.
I feel like cultural appropriation of Arabs needs to be discussed even regular girls I know who move to the Gulf, forget their culture and appropriate the culture hiding any trace of their ethnicity (seems to be Pakistanis and other Asians). What's wrong with being from wherever you are from? There's beauty in diversity and beauty in all ethnicities!
The cultural appropriation of Arabs is something people are not ready to talk about yet, I’m noticing kylie jenner get happy with the haifa wehbe comparisons now she’s abandoned the Latina look and is trying to look arab. For time, and literally I mean TIME. Arab women have been culturally appropriated, whether that’s through non Arabs emulating our look through makeup, fashion, cultural wear etc. I remember growing up in London post 9/11 it was literally a struggle, when I told people I was a Iraqi the first thing is “how’s the war” but after the influx or Arabs vacationing/studying in London and after the rise of arab social media people all of a sudden want to adopt our culture and styles like their own, when only 10 years ago we were shunned lol??? Am I missing something??? People who pretend to have arab lineage or abandon their culture because of “arab superiority complex” (when they are so fragile something as simple as being arab breaks them lol ok) I truly pity them. As I’ve commented on other threads, there is literally nothing special about being arab. Life would be so so easier if people were comfortable in their own fkin skin.
