Some people rallied behind Joseline, showing support for her perspective and applauding her for challenging her biracial identity by embracing her Blackness:
“It’s crazy how right Joseline is. Amber Rose eats up having black features but definitely would rather be a fully white woman,” one user wrote.

Others defended Amber’s right to self-identify:
“Amber is a mixed woman, even her mom is mixed. Why y’all forcing blackness on her?, one fan wrote.
“I don’t even like Amber, and I’m with Amber on this one. If she’s proud of both sides of where she comes from, why can’t she stand up for both?, another said.
