1. [+1,408, -94] Why is this controversial ㅋㅋㅋ Just because she shot the MV in Africa, she needs to have black people in it??? Well 'Avengers' was shot in Korea, does that mean they should've had Koreans star in it too????? And 'Lord of the Rings' doesn't have black actors, does that mean the movie is a white supremacy movie??? Doesn't make any sense at all
2. [+795, -180] People are really accusing Taylor Swift of white supremacy? ㅋㅋㅋ Just because she doesn't have someone black in her music video doesn't make her a white supremist...
3. [+454, -44] Sounds more like a victim mentality ㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+477, -85] Taylor Swift seems to be getting into a lot of controversies lately... it must be a bad year for her
5. [+290, -33] Taylor Swift???????
6. [+94, -19] I can understand to an extent if you think about it in terms we'd understand... Imagine if a Japanese singer shot a movie in Korea and all you saw were Koreans running away in the back but the screen showed a Japanese man and woman falling in love. Would we take well to that? Now put that in terms of black and white people.
7. [+63, -10] Makes me wonder if it was necessary to go all the way to film it in Africa to have a scene of black people running away... she's a global star, she should be careful of everything.
8. [+54, -10] If it's wrong in their culture, then it's wrong. Why should Koreans be trying to support her? Because you're her fans?
9. [+50, -7] But Korean idols film overseas all the time and it's not like they show scenes with the natives... this seems like an overreaction
10. [+38, -5] Is it because Taylor Swift has a lot of fans? Because if you put the facts down, the director of the MV has been known since the past to be racist against black people... and the most importantpart is that some of the male actors were wearing the uniform worn by the Europeans when they invaded Africa.. which is why all these issues are being brought up.
