Emma Chamberlain addresses backlash over allegedly racist photos Emma Chamberlain, YouTube[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]Emma Chamberlain is one of YouTube\u2019s biggest stars, boasting over 9 million subscribers on the platform for her humorous videos \u2014 but the popular entertainer is now being called out over a photo many critics deemed as racist. Chamberlain isn\u2019t known for being problematic, and is most widely hailed for both the relatable content she films for her YouTube channel and her open, honest personality. Despite these traits, the YouTuber became the subject of outrage in late June, after she posted a photo to Instagram that showed her pulling the skin back from her eyes in what some claimed to be an attempt in mocking Asian people. \u201cLuv, this pose is super racist and is literally the slant eyes gesture that little white kids used to bully me with,\u201d one user wrote on Twitter. \u201cDelete this.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/EmmaKent10\/status\/1273828204491313153?s=20 \u201cNot miss Emma Chamberlain posting a racist pic mocking Asians\u2019 slanted eyes,\u201d another commented. \u201cRegardless of if it was intentional or not, girly should\u2019ve known better.

The star clarified in a Twitter post that the screenshot was taken from an older video where she used dollar store products to do her makeup, and claimed she removed the upload some time ago after being called out by fans. \u201cI grabbed the wrong shade by accident and didn\u2019t realize the shade was incorrect until I was already putting it on,\u201d she clarified. \u201c\u2026I am learning and growing every day, and I apologize.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/emmachamberlain\/status\/1274826516048695296?s=20 Despite her explanation, some critics aren\u2019t satisfied with her response to the scandals, and continue to call out the YouTuber in wake of her separate replies over two instances that have blown up across social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
