Lady Gaga’s latest single “You and I” is pretty much dead in Chicago. B96 has played it once and then discontinued the song from its airplay list (for now). It has also dropped on the national iTunes chart to number 117. But Lady Gaga’s biggest problem is that she is being accused of plagiarizing Bob Dylan for the single cover.
The cover to “You and I” features Lady Gaga dressed as a man looking almost exactly like Bob Dylan. “I guess she has run out of all her Madonna incarnations, so now she’s turning into Bob Dylan? This is an insult to our legend,” says poster DylanMasterful at the Bob Dylan Fan Site. The comments on Perezhilton.com aren’t any more impressive. One user notes that she liked Lady Gaga’s incarnation of Madonna vs. the Skunk better.
Lady Gaga has faced all sorts of criticism this year and besides plagiarism, has been accused of scamming charities, insulting Latinos, insulting Asians, cheating the music industry with her 99 cent album sale, and a lot more. Do you think she deserves all this vitriol?

so the people who have issues with those terms are the ones with the problem. i get it.
2.) Gaga's producers are probably more interested in the money she brings them than the social issues she can draw attention to (ostensibly)
3.) I don't know your friends or family and I can't say what they identify with or no, but them not having a problem with it doesn't mean that other Asians and Latino/Latina people didn't.
i will leave it at this: the words themselves, individually, are not racist terms at all. period. there are people who identify by those terms.
gaga also did not use these terms in a racist way in her song. therefore, because the meaning of the words are not racist, and the way she used them isn't racist...the song itself is not racist! there you go. have a nice night.
there are people who identify by those terms. there are also a great deal of people who do not like them. so we should just dismiss their concerns?
and it doesn't fucking matter how you use words like that.
you are a delusional stan.
are we supposed to dismiss all of their concerns too? they identify by those terms, i'm sure they loved being championed by song. so why the fuck should they care if somebody else thinks that the word THEY identify by is racist? your argument is so flaccid rn.
BLAH BLAH SOME PEOPLE LOVED IT I DON'T KNOW WHO BUT THEY DID AND I DIDN'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IT AND NONE OF MY FRIENDS DID SO THAT MAKES IT OK BLAH BLAH
just saying
"what's up, my nigger?"
not 'racist'... still wrong
also, "chola" and "orient" do not have the same racist and historical implications as the word "nigger". please do not use such a weak argument next time. the answer to this should really have been obvious for you.
I beg to differ.
