Asian Groups Pissed at Lady Gaga

I truly don't think this song is racist, but I love a little Lady Caca backlash.

I am not so sure that quoting two Asian-Americans really constitutes a backlash from the Asian-American community. I hope that for this dude's sake the article is not representative of his writing, 'cause as Robin Williams said in the voice of Truman Capote - "That's not writing, that's just typing.

"Lady Gaga is an obvious homophobic who is using reverse psychology in order to make gay people look bad. But now she’s going after Asians and Latinos. It’s pretty sick what White corporate men in suits will come up with.” Mr. Wong and several Asian students plan to travel to Los Angeles in order to protest Lady Gaga’s performance of the song on the Grammy Awards next week."

She shouldn't be singing about their eyes like that.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!
RIP Dick Clark, Whitney Houston, Don Cornelius, Heavy D, and Donna Summer. rose

“Why is this talentless, White Madonna rip-off artist who was born into privilege stereotyping Asians with the term ‘orient?’ asks Maricopa College professor Peter Wong. Mary Kim, one of his students, agrees.

Didn't I tell yal just last week that this was inevitable? Too much hype always leads to this.

It's not about the song it's just about bringing what's up down a couple notches.

What are the lyrics they're pissed about? Sounds like a bunch of people looking for something to get angry about from what I read. lol

Grant it i wasn't alive in the 80' and was to young to remember in the 90's, so i could be wrong.

But of my young life this is probably the most hyped song i can think of, i have never seen a song given so much publicity over every two new lines of lyrics that come out and every twitter thing GaGa post about it news. And now all this silly ''controversy''

I Seriously have never seen a song this hyped before lol

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

All music is shit music and no music is real- gunsnhalen

Motherfuckers are hyping it in two ways: it's the greatest thing to come out since sliced bread or it's going to bring us closer to doom in 2012. lol

It's like there is no in-between with this woman and the media the way they hype it up for good or bad! It don't make sense. lol

But I swear if this song sucks... falloff

Timmy I love ya but just get rid of Gaga already every thread I see you in that’s about her it’s like you forcing yourself to continue to like the bitch. falloff The song I think might be wack Gaga drinking her B.S kool aid thinking it's the greatest thing ever I just got that feeling but she usually puts out catchy songs so let’s see I have a little faith just way too much hype for my liking it won't be as good as her and her people say that's for sure. I’m whatever at this point next week the shit finally drops and I’ll judge. I’m tired of the song and we haven’t even heard it . lol The hype is ridiculous though . rolleyes

While what this person said isn't right, the fact that she used that word seems to reek of quite an outdated mindset, especially for someone who prides themselves on such forward thinking. If she had used the word 'negro' to refer to black people everyone would have jumped on her. I find the two terms to be similar in that respect.
