Avril Lavigne's New Music Video Considered Racist??
Avril Lavigne's new music video, called 'Hello Kitty, is getting a lot of hate online because viewers are considering racist! The video consists of Asian fetishization, accent mocking and Japanese like clones.
On the other hand, Avril doesn't see anything wrong with this and she states that she LOVES Japanese culture.
RACIST??? LOLOLOL!!! I love Japanese culture and I spend half of my time in Japan. I flew to Tokyo to shoot this video…

…specifically for my Japanese fans, WITH my Japanese label, Japanese choreographers AND a Japanese director IN Japan.
