Black women are the most imitated yet the most disrespected (e.g. white women\u2019s surgical enhancements) and voluptuous features. Urban Dictionary defines Blackfishing as being commonly perpetrated by females of European descent (white) which involves artificial tanning (spray tanning and tanning booths) and using makeup to manipulate facial features in order to appear to have some type of Black African ancestry. The general point of blackfishing is for a female of European descent to appear of African, Arab, or Hispanic ancestry. Some consider it to be equivalent to modern day \u201cblack face\u201d because it capitalizes off the looks of historically oppressed groups of people by people who come from more privileged backgrounds.
