Which cultural group will Gwen Stefani accessorize during her new album promotion this time?

Last time we seen Gwen sporting 4 Harajuku Girls as her fashion accessories and singing about dressing them up and giving them names.
Well a new album is coming up, and Gwen needs new accessories. So which ethnicity should Gwen cart around with her this time?

how about whichever group catches her interest? lol i don't get the criticism over her "accessorising" harajuki girls' style. if you're not familiar with the scene in the harajuku district, its all about fashion and style; there's nothing wrong with adoption of that scene.

and i know jayaredee is a big madonna fan. surely you must also criticize her, then, when she takes from other communities and adopts it as her own?

LOL

I love it when we get politically incorrect about race on the org...it's so refreshing.

Seriously though what Gwen does is inappropriate and racist IMHO. Madonna has never straight up used a traveling pack of SILENT black/gay dancers around to every appearance. I read somewhere that Gwen doesn't let them SPEAK in front of the media. That's fucked. She totally exploited them and used human beings as decoration, a novel fashion accessory. It's disgusting. Me no like Gwen.
I'll leave it alone babe...just be me

My problem is not adapting or being influenced by different cultures. No one actually believes that Madonna is a geisha. But it's carting around human beings as an accessory. Madonna's never done that to the best of my knowledge, and if she has, then shame on her. I know many are probably thinking about her adoption as i say this. I don't know her intentions. I really hope she intended to adopt the child to give him a hope for his future and not for the sake of being hailed a saint. Only she knows her intentions.

Gwen though, is one shameful biatch. I'm shocked the press hasn't been all over her for this.
