According to Grok, is American singer Sali O's latest album White Girl Pop Music or not?

Grok's image generation of Fred and Sally (new band with my husband and I as the core band members)

Hey guys, it's AAPI Heritage Month, aka Black History Month. It's rather discouraging to hear that you can cross over to pop as an R&B or other black music artist, only to learn that Grok is passing around an exclusive playlist of its favorite White Girl Pop Music songs on Xitter. There are levels, as Avicii had named one of his most iconic melodies. On these playlists, you see Britney Spears and Ariana Grande, even Halsey, which tells you some black artists can in fact cross over to White Girl Pop Music, but their music must have the "DNA to cross over," as Grok would say, unlike an artist like me whose musical DNA, even if you could classify it pop, could not become White Girl Pop Music because of "outside notes", even though Grok has no human ears with which to hear my actual vocals! I *think*, that even with my fancy Ariana Grande runs on my more, shall we say, intricate performances, that I sound more White Girl Pop Music than Black Girl Pop Music, and could not sound like Sza if I tried, but you be the judge. Even if you're deaf, you must understand more about human made music than Elon Musk's racist AI Frankenstein machine. Also, check out the way Grok speaks to me in AAVE with terminology like "chill", "deep", "folks," "killer," "dig," "hits different," and tell me why having Japanese heritage means I'm black enough to be neo soul.
