Or don'tWhat's the alternative
If you're going to do a colonial video
Sure. I was kind of being flip, because I think the critique that the video is too white is a bit off. I completely agree that the real problem is that the video was made at all. I assume that she and whoever wrote and directed the just kind of thought that it was pretty and that's where it ends. I doubt they put much more thought into it than that. Which kind of makes sense in this day and age. We seem to be at a point in our culture where money is really the king, and we can worship it in whatever superficial way we want. This video seems like an expression of that sentiment more than anything. What better way to express ignorance of the less fortunate than to trivialize the most down trodden people on earth?
I'm not giving anyone a pass for being dumb, so I hope you didn't read it that way. Willful ignorance might be less of a crime than blatant racism, but it's still a shameful thing to do. Anyway it's not up to the video's creators to decide if it's offensive; it's up to the people watching it. It is, however, up to the creators to decide if they want to learn from what others find offensive about it or not. We'll see, but I wouldn't bet my paycheck on it.
nah, of course not bruh. It just is what it is, haha. It's why I've had to filter a lot of these types of instances into the "lol, fuckin of course" part of my brain because it gets tiring. I think I'm just ambivalent at this point, is what I'm getting at.I hope you didn't read it that way
