Why the sarcasm? It's no big deal, right? No need to get offended since we're all just "having fun." Right?

Lawd her butt is fake. She doesn't have big hips. There's this thing where people confuse wide hips with having a donk. She has a donk with the help of doctors.
Honey your the one getting all upset over iggy. She has almost 4 million Twitter followers, her voice counts. Like it or not people listen to her.
You totally missed my point. But no worries, not like you are trying to hear it anyway. Her voice counts to her audience, not to me. And I will continue to shade that fraud at every opportunity. She is a fake and her audience isn't hip hop, it's pop.
I do agree, her audience is pop. Don't see the big deal there.
I also think liking/having big butts isn't specific to any culture, if that is what you were referring to earlier, me + my fiancé are a prime example
not all white dudes like little stick women 
^I think iggy is considered a fraud for doing hip hop music with a southern style when she's white for one and Australian. I'm not a "big" indie rock fan, but my husband is. Anyway there's a band he likes called TV on the radio. They are three black guys and one white guy or something. Anyway nobody cares what color they are, even though they sound like every other indie rock band. No fraud comments nothing. my husband thought it was cool when he saw them, he didn't call them frauds, etc... I just don't get the need for divide when iggy is obviously emulating a style she likes.
I agree with your points.
Her accent is completely fake. I moved to Australia when I was 16 and at 22, I still have a very strong Kiwi accent. Kiwi and Aussie accents are incredibly similar too. You won't be able to distinguish between the two if you're not local. So when I hear that she's managed to naturally pick up a ghetto accent at around my age, I know she's lying.
Again you're missing the point. It's not about her being white, it's about her pretending to be something she's not and running with it. If she were really an urban hip hop talent Id be all about her skills. But she's basically an industry creation sold to the public to put a white/blond face on hip hop and then rush to announce her the "Queen." It's pathetic. It's insulting. The very culture mainstream media derides as "bad" is suddenly acceptable because a blond white chick is the one acting "ghetto." Not because she's a true talent. She's pop, with a pop fan base, trying to be pushed as hip hop. The media is casually pretending her fans are hip hop when the majority are pop. Hip hop fans shouldn't be swept into that category just so Iggy can seem more popular than she is.
What does acting ghetto mean to you?
Also I don't think she has a southern accent when she speaks, just when she raps. Lots of singers don't have an accent when they sing but you can definitely hear it when they speak, like Adele and Rihanna.
I find it funny how she's the queen of hip hop now like Macklemore, winning awards and shhh, but that's another issue and it's not just in the music industry but in America as a whole #icantbreathe

Actually she's a fraud for not have a flow that is authentic to her; has nothing to do with her being white. There are many white rappers who are authentic but their flow/delivery is their own. She also doesn't actually write her own lyrics, it's clearly TI's words and his flow being delivered by her. There's nothing real about her as a hip-hop artist; plus she's horrible at rapping. While hip-hop has moved from it's roots, it still embraces being able to freestyle and rhyme which is key to being considered a good hip-hop artist; she doesn't have that and is manufactured (see the videos I posted awhile back in this thread). The thing about hip-hop is that you can be whatever just be authentic to your own style/flow. I know of French rappers who are dope and respected in the hip-hop world but they don't try to pretend to be from the dirty; that would be lame and laughable. Why can't she just be an Aussie who raps well (aside from the fact that she can't rap)?
This whole conversation was done a few pages back though. And, given the albums coming out in 2015, some of these fraud artists are going to be tested. J. Cole already called them out and it's about to be the trend, this year, to call out and challenge these appropriators.

She's not the new queen of hip-hop...sheesh. Who crowned her that? It certainly wasn't hip-hop that gave her that title. Also, where are you getting that Macklemore is somehow in standing? Neither one of them are hip-hop, they are pop. The current "king" of hip-hop is Drake...if I can't call him that, hip-hop doesn't have kings/queens...it's only the person who's on top at the moment. At the moment, that's Drake and Nikki.
Exactly. If she's going to be crowned anything crown her the queen of pop...but they wont because thats BS too. She is not hip hop. She is a manufactured, packaged attempt to delude the masses that she's been accepted and revered as the face of a genre that has not revered or accepted her. That is my issue. Things are only described as not a big deal when it's not a big deal to you. Of course it's not a big deal to her pop fans, because they don't know any better and don't care.
