No thanks for the bundle of stereotypes No wonder then that #India will be known as the country of snake charmers & sadhus. Wanna depict #India, understand its rich & diverse culture first! Going with ago old stereotypes is not done! #HymnForTheWeekend #Coldplay You’ve been to the clubs and everything.Why do you want to make it seem like all we do is dance in the streets ahmed ali akbar January 29, don’t exoticize us.
I dont even know what to say about this coldplay video except can white rock bands please stop filming holi videos in india, thank you. did actually fly to India and “immerse themselves” in the culture, hiring an Indian director, cast and crew for the project. Although some did note that Chris Martin and Co. Why do Coldplay have this impact /a3rjkU1LIBįor better or worse, it is a Coldplay music video (Beyoncé didn’t even actually travel for it), so a large amount of blame was put on the British rock band. So what is the truth? /lp8yhX3lHHĪnd some pointed out this isn’t the first time Coldplay has used (or misused?) Asian culture in its videos, noting the band’s Rihanna-featuring “Princess of China” video: I remember y’all dragging this video when it’s the same as Beyonce’s. Others recalled Iggy Azalea‘s “Bounce” video, which garnered some unwanted attention over similar calls of appropriation: How is Beyoncé, a black woman, offensively appropriating?īeyoncé showed India in many ways and made it look beautiful and lovely. ? /4v3ribYlWdĬultural appropriation is about power structures just as with racism. In a country where I’m a “terrorist” I have never felt more accepted.
I adore Beyoncé for embracing my culture.
Meanwhile others supported Bey’s wardrobe choices: Beyoncé never gets in trouble for anything! When Beyoncé gets in trouble for cultural appropriation…nobody is safe. She is being offensive and appropriating our culture. Just because it’s Beyoncé, doesn’t mean she’s right. Are we gonna discuss how Beyonce dressing up as an Indian woman for the Coldplay video is cultural appropriation, or no?
