I feel like "Burqa", "Ratchet" and "Tea" are more things that should be themes rather than song titles. Like... what the hell are they going to be about, lyrically? Fine for a song with a burqa costume theme to it, her acting ratchet for something, and then a bit of an obsession about tea.
Like, imagine her titling "Bad Romance" as "Hooker In a White Fur Jacket with Blazing ****".
She has a song literally titled “Shit“ and it worked just fine...
And “Tea“ is supposedly about Taylor. “T“ So you can stop.
It's a form of oppression. You'd start complaining if people started using "n****r", "s**c" and "c***k" freely.
Tea, shade, and such language are not derogatory. Shes not calling people f*gs. Hence why I don't think it matters. If anyone has a problem with her using it you need to have a problem with everyone using it. Burqa is more an issue of cultural appropriation than anything. But even that isn't really bad. She wont be allowed to wear them in certain countries though. And that could **** her up music video wise.
It's simple and fits the imagery of the song I have in mind while listening. Nighttime, purple lighting, the streets of NYC. My opinion is unpopular but oh well.
Video wise :
Judas > The Edge of Glory > You & I > Marry the Night > Born This Way

So fine that Interscope decided to not release it, despite being the best song on the album, because, I assume, they felt radios weren't going to play it.

Taking something that belongs to a culture originating from a minority & using it casually the way a lot of people do (This includes things such as Iggy Azalea rolling with the Indian theme in her "Bounce" music video) is cultural appropriation & it is an issue. And I already stated that "Burqa" is the same.

Same thing with Selena Gomez and her appropriation of the Bindi for Come & Get It
