- How is what Katy Perry said racist?
|
She was reading fan tweets or whatever while recording herself from her phone, one fan said they missed her black hair, which was recently dyed blonde. Her response was, "Oh really? Do you miss Barack Obama as well? Oh, ok. Times change, bye!" Then she laughed, looked at her friends, who were like 'sweety that wasn't funny, stahp' and recording is stopped.
The joke itself isn't funny in the slightest, it's just weird and random to hair = people. Black - > Blonde hair = Obama -> Trump, yeah I get it, just..not funny. I don't see how it's racist, though? Her hair was black, she mentioned Obama, who is black, and...that's..it... She just acknowledged his skin color. Like, that it was a thing, nothing more and nothing less. I don't see where the offense is coming from, to be honest.

It's a stupid, unfunny joke, but it's not offensive. Just not funny.
People need to stop getting upset over stupid s***.
"She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter? Hes so cute.' And I was like, Mom, I just got blown up."

I'm not offended over it. I just thought it was rather interesting thing to say.

"racist" is just the latest buzzword, it's thrown around anytime anyone does anything these days
|
|
We really have no reason to ask why social media is upset with something anymore. It always is.
Off with the horns,
On with the show! |

There's the "OMG RACIST" tangent to her joke that people are seeing, and then there's the "Hey look, an election just happened and we have a new president that very few people like." look to it. Outrage culture chooses to look at only the first one because that's the simplest thing they can connect with. They're like a single cell amoeba in that regard.

That's a real weird thing to say and a way weirder thing to be offended by.

her tone..Idk tbh she seemed tipsy or high. Or maybe she was having a hyper moment, I have those pretty often. Here's the vid:
 Can't find one on Youtube of just the clip, but it's at 14 seconds. |
|
She just tried to make a terrible joke to draw away from the fact that she looks like s*** now.

Trying to figure out who's offended here
People would have you believe that the accusation of racism is more offensive than ACTUAL racism.
|
|
I found it highly offensive... mainly because it was just such an awful failed attempt at humor.
