Ok listen... I love both Zayn and Harry. This is not to hate on EITHER of them.
I, too, hate it when people bring up one of them when the other is getting called out (eg. people bringing up harry now that zayn has said the f slur).
However, I think the reason why people are bringing Harry up or it seems like they're defending Zayn is because, a lot of people completely ignored the fact that Harry has done several problematic things in the past (not all Harries and hybrids have ignored it but quite a few). And even if they did hold him accountable....there was no type of statement/apology from Harry or his team about these issues. But as soon as Zayn does ONE problematic thing people IMMEDIATELY jump on the "Cancel Zayn" train.
And don't come at me saying "no one is trying to cancel him" YES they are. You're probably on another side of twitter.
I am not defending Zayn in this matter, he should not have said the word (even though i believe he meant no malice by it he still should not have repeated it) but I'm tired of people not giving this same cancel energy when it comes to white celebs.
