The term "racist" seems to get tossed around this thread pretty freely and yet there's nothing racist about what Martina is doing, she's actually embracing a new culture while not hurting anyone. Here is a thread where the actual model posts from time to time and yet she gets so much hate, I guess some people will never be happy no matter how well you treat them. Keep doing what you do and live your life Martina.
I can agree with you on a certain level - she's doing things on her terms, and that is to be admired (I guess). I don't consider it racist, not in the classical low-brow stereotypical Southern United States way. There isn't any malicious intent there. If I'm being honest, I think she's doing this to get attention. Most of her coverage is from the European rags (gossip magizines), not normal outlets. She's the 2021 version of England's 2000 Jordan Price. Remember her?
I do think there is some body dismorphia going on here. Just like transsexual people experience body dismorphia. Trans people are generally celebrated and encouraged by society at this point. Transsexualism is a thing. Transracism isn't really a thing. See Rachel Dolezal, and review how that worked out for her. Maybe she's ahead of her time? I'm on the fence about this one.
I don't believe this to be black face. Black face is a makeup that you can take off at the end of the day. Her commitment is on another level.
I dunno, just my $0.02
