Because nothing says the American Dream like seeing the Japanese culture shamelessly and irresponsibly exploited on national TV by none other than Katy Perry herself. With the bulbous wigs, exaggerated costuming, and super original bowing, the term cultural appropriation does not even begin to describe this mess.
Guess what, Katy Perry? Nothing was new, clever, or edgy about any of this. Some of us have been subjected to this same kind of stereotyping, this bad joke of the "American Dream" our whole damn lives. Racism is old and tired. Try better next time.
