nope but okay
Was she being insensitive? yes! Will she care about this "backlash"? No, because her life is euro-centric and I doubt people there care either. Not saying there isn't a problem but it's just the way it is.

I'll take the opinions of critics over yours any day

Not w/an album that was dubbed "Best Electronic Album of the 20th Century"...

I think what they meant was that Europe has a history of racism against dark-skinned people, but they tend to brush it under the rug and pretend it doesn't exist rather than address it or make a big fuss over it. So Bjork's quote will probably go unnoticed and unchecked over there.

And I don't see how it being a John Lennon/Ono quote makes it that much better, but I think I kind of get what she was trying to say. In context she was saying that the museum was loud and people weren't paying attention. So she's saying that music/sound and the quality of it is treated with disrespect and disdain by the masses maybe? Idk, but either way, I'm not about to sit here and try to justify her choice of words. Bitch betta RUN for the hills of rural Iceland cuz gerl you aint safe

Of all the analogies to use and she uses that nonsensical phrase?! She knows better.

Like, really?

I think she's ignorant of how sensitive the history of the n-word is seeing that she's from iceland but still, she should've known better...

What...?

At least Yoko Ono's similar mess made a bit of sense.

To most of a certain group she appeals to (indie tumblr crowd that also prides themselves for being socially aware) this will definitely matter.

She's been around for over 30 years now. Her audience is FAR wider than Tumblr.

the stans here defending her words...

She sounds dumb and ignorant as ****.

Was she trying to be ARTPOP?

I'm not disputing that, but that is a sizable chunk of her current audience, albeit not her whole audience.

Her audience is not much wider than tumblr...

I don't understand art
