Cardi B thinks the US school system is to blame for the ignorance surrounding “race, ethnicity and nationality”.
The chart-topping rap star – who is the daughter of a Dominican father and Afro-Trinidadian mother – has taken to Twitter to hit out at “uncultured swines”, but also insisted they’re not to blame for their own ignorance.
Alongside a video discussing the Dominican population, Cardi wrote: “For the uncultured swines that don’t understand the difference between race, ethnicity and nationality especially when it’s about Caribbean islands. I don’t blame you tho. I blame the school systems (sic)”
Earlier this year, Cardi bemoaned the “one-sided” history lessons taught in US schools.
The ‘WAP’ hitmaker – who was born and raised in New York City – took to Twitter at the time to educate Americans about the history of her ancestors.
“One more thing I want to make clear to Americans. Colonization did not just happened in the USA .Actually the first diaspora boat and slaves arrive in The Dominican Republic. Our Haitian & DR brothers & sisters were put against each other by their colonizers Spain & France. (sic)” she said.
Cardi, 29, then suggested that Americans aren’t sufficiently well-informed about important historical events.
She said: “I wish I can speak more about history and the one sided history these school be giving us. Besides this whole “Latin lesson” that I’m giving ya there is soo much I have learn that if I speak on it I feel like the government will OFF me .I’ll just talk to myself about it .”
