New Viral Music Video “Chinese Food” Said To Be Inappropriate And Racist [VIDEOS]
From the culprits behind Rebecca Black’s much criticised viral music video “Friday,” come another cringe-fest that’s fast becoming another viral hit. “Chinese Food,” by another innocent wannabe singer Alison Gold, is getting attention online for all the wrong reasons.
Ark Music Factory, the same music production company behind the overly autotuned “Friday,” has produced Gold’s now trending video. The three-and-a-half-minute video shows Gold ranting about being hungry for Chinese food. When she sees a Chinese restaurant, that’s when the craziness happens.
There’s a panda mascot playing in the park, a grown man (rapper Patrice Wilson) in a panda suit on a sleepover with tween girls, and the said girls dressed in Japanese geisha costumes.
“I love Chinese dog. You know that it’s true. I love fried rice. I love noodles. I love chow mein, chow mmmein,” Gold crooned in the video.
Since it was uploaded on YouTube on Monday, the music video has amassed over 6.1 million views. Not everything that’s trending online is a good thing, though. With only 17,000 plus upvotes, it has a whopping over 78,000 downvotes from unimpressed and offended viewers.
“Chinese Food” is thought to be a racist and culturally ignorant song.
“This is about Chinese Food not the Chinese CULTURE, so stop wearing those freakin kimonos, it’s so racist,” YouTube user MsGlitteryDiamonds wrote.
“I’m Chinese. No offence, but this is so racist. Btw, why are they wearing Japanese kimonos? Isn’t it about Chinese food?” Origami8746 added.
Another user named Andrew Woode observed, “Honestly, I could only get through a minute. It sounds more like a promotional song for kids that goes straight to cd than an actual *shudder* song. But good on her for trying to... do something.”
Some users noted the panda costume-wearing rapper’s similarity to Pedobear, an online cartoon mascot that is often associated with paedophilia. Aside from frolicking in the park with Gold, he’s also seen having a pillow fight with underage girls.
Gold is feared to be following Black’s misfortune of being bullied after releasing her much derided video “Friday” in 2011.
Black, 16, turned out to be a resilient teenager, though. She dropped out of school after being constantly verbally bullied, but she still appeared in various music videos by different artists from time to time.
