Is Taylor Swift promoting black stereotypes?
I think this Twitter user has a very strong point. Is Tay Tay promoting black stereotypes? Is that specific scene in her latest video for ''Shake it Off'' racist?
Discuss.

This quite honestly. Black girls just twerk better, and I don't think it's that wrong.

I don't think Taylor had the time to cast her background dancers

There's literally a black girl in the interpretive dance scene but okay.
Also, it's cast not casted.

She definitely used the Black girls as PROPS for her ubiquitous, gratuitous twerking scene.
