The only one grasping for straws is you trying to speak for an entire culture

I Was In India When Coldplay And Beyoncé’s Video Dropped — And I Don’t See Cultural Appropriation

Girl get read up or something.

But majority of people offended by that line...were black people. Therefore that is relevant. Which makes sense as opposed to all the outrage about this coming from whies who have nothing to do with it or the culture. Therefore IRRELEVANT.

Keep trying though

Uhhh. Or the only way I know it's a mashup is because I recognize the distinctions fused into one video?

That song title makes me wanna pull my hair out.

your logic is flawed

Formation has 6.5M views and it's unlisted

I'm not surprised that white people believe they possess the authority to speak on behalf of a community they have no connection to instead of listening to what the culture's own participants are saying about it. It's that white supremacy thing.

So i'm going to stop acknowledging it!

They got permission from the OWNERS of the footage and they were compensated. Filming footage doesn't make u the owner

Its really not. Idg whats so hard to understand. If you do something thats offensive to the culture/people you are catering to then that is outrage worthy.

If you do sonething that is embraced by the culture/people, then it isn't.

People outside of that culture having feelings about it is not important.

Neither RVO nor I are white, so I'm not sure where you're going with this?

your logic is flawed

Ok
Meanwhile Indian people are liking the video and white people are whining about it.

Then I'm not referring to you?

Either way, unless you're Indian. Your opinion doesn't really hold weight in this debate.

Hence why I haven't passed ANY judgement as to whether good or bad. Simply referenced people of that culture's responses. It's all I can authentically hope to do.

I don't know where (especially white) people get off telling blacks they should accept Iggy's use of "slave master" because Indians aren't outraged. That's not my fault.

did you get a warning point for posting the formation video 14 times?

Why does yours hold any weight then? My indian friend came crying to me because she was offended by the video. How am I not concerned? She said she was tired of everyone atereotyping her culture and that it affects her negatively as that's all what people expect from her (what's portrayed in the video).

Fdgsajfhasbjf NO I was sure that I would but

Mine doesn't! That's a discussion for Indian people to have amongst each other! Each Indian individual is entitled to their feelings on the matter.

It just so happens that the majority of these opinions align with the notion that its appreciation rather than appropriation.
