garnite 7 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 i doubt her japanese fans really care about this. meanwhile the only "offended" people are just a couple of butthurt users on an online forum. sounds familiar when you consider GGD. oh i know. i did say the japanese fans who are complaining specifically.

uo111 5,201 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 the tweet is the title of an article referring to japanese people feeling that gaga's attire was racially insensitive. you ought to care about the article if you care about being accurate in what we're discussing. and i can be pedantic too - a person's opinion on whether or not something is racist is not the same as making multiple false claims about something. That title is not what the original title was...  And while it's nice to think that opinions can't be wrong, I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not, but this person wasn't actually offended, they just wanted to get hits so they called her racially insensitive and a racist. If they were to make a real argument as to why they felt that way, then a more open discussion would be warranted.  But they are making racism claims about something that almost certainly doesn't relate to them and without having all the facts. In any case, calling gaga racist is ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, calling gaga racist is ridiculous. but the sole thing you are going by is the 8 word title, which doesn't call her a racist. it makes reference to the opinion of the japanese fans who are quoted as saying so in the article. it's only the title. yes, it is headline grabbing. but it is only an adumbration of the article. and they didn't say she was racist. calling someone racially insensitive, deliberate or not, is not the same as calling someone a racist.

Because as far as I can tell that's accusing her of being racist. it's race / racism, because if you checked the article (!) that is how they tagged it on the site, at the bottom. race / racism. if you click on the tag, it takes you to all of their articles that are involved in race and racism discussions. it is not an accusation of being a racist. it's a pertinent tag. plus, they tag all their tweets.
