re: Princess of China; I'm not criticizing anyone specific, but I've noticed that people hyperfocus on Rihanna even though it's also Coldplay's song, even though the song itself is already iffy (like it's new for white men to fantasize about Asian women), even though Martin dresses up as a ninja. I think Rihanna is already an easy target for people as a WOC pop artist. If you look at youtube comments, for example, you find a lot of people complaining about the 'slutty whore' ruining coldplay.
that is a really good point.
I sincerely apologize if I was being offensive about picking on Rihanna moreso than the video itself. I don’t know whose idea the video was/which band had a bigger stake in production & I love her overall, so I’m going to stick saying
“Princess of China” was yucky in general, and continuing to pour more haterade on Coldplay.
