Also, just because Katy dresses and uses performances from different cultures/backgrounds doesnt make her a racist. She just appreciates the diverse cultures our world has to offer. Thats why Dark Horse has an Egyptian theme in her live performances of the song. I was mainly talking about her performance of Unconditionally, which was actually somewhat racist. It was meant to pay homage to Japanese culture, but it also had Chinese references in the mix, which was what deemed it as racist, like it was some teenage girl whitewashing a culture. Now, I don't have a problem with singers using cultural references during performances, even though I did talk about her Dark Horse video in an unfavorable light, but seeing that now, it's a pretty irrational argument to make lol.
