Sexy White University Student ‘Received Death Threats After Pretending To Be Black’

A white university student has claimed she received death threats after being accused of ‘blackfishing’ on social media. 20-year-old Aga Brzostowska, who is known online as Alicja, says she was subjected to the online threats after being ‘outed’ on Instagram for ‘pretending to be black’.


The backlash was sparked after a photograph of her aged 13 went viral, with critics pointing out how different she looks now in comparison.
She claims she later received a tirade of abuse from trolls, including some allegedly telling her to ‘kill herself’.
The term blackfishing was coined by Canadian writer Wanna Thompson, who called out the practise on Twitter.
She said: “Can we start a thread and post all of the white girls cosplaying as black women on Instagram?”
Her post saw over 1,000 responses from Twitter users, posting pictures of women they believed were women of colour, only to find out they were white.
Critics accused the women of cultural appropriation and accused them of undermining the adversity that black people have faced and are still facing now.
Photos on Alicja’s Instagram account featured on the Twitter thread seemingly showed changes to her appearance over the years – including darker skin, full lips and curvy thighs and hips.

Alicja, who moved to the UK from Poland as a baby, was interviewed by the BBC and said that she had always been olive skinned and uses fake tan.

She also said that her lips had not been surgically enhanced and that her thicker thighs were a result of hard work in the gym.


She said: “I’ve had no surgery, so I can’t take off these lips. “I can’t remove my ‘fake bum implants’. I’m not going to stop going to the gym to grow my thighs.” She added: “I’m not white white, I might be Polish but I’m not white white. “I’m not saying I don’t fake tan and I just wake up brown.
Since the controversy began, Alicja claims she has received over 200 direct messages on Instagram, with some telling her to kill herself.
Alicja has now turned off comments on one of her Instagram pictures where she is sporting braids, she said was getting her lots of hate
