But anon, that's because Japanese are the majority on Japan, it's Japanese americans who are subject to the appropriation here, and the power structures involved mean that's not okay.

Well.....the song was made by an artist who visited Japan for her Japanese fans, and the video was directed by someone from Japan who was Japanese.

It would be like if some artist from another country visited America and had an American fanbase of say 12 or 13 year olds and wrote a song that references a lot of popular things in American pop culture and had an American director.

I don't know if you're being serious or not, but I think there's a huge difference between Avril making a j-pop style video, and Avril actually... being offensive. Like if the entirety of your complaint is "the video has things that are stereotypically Japanese" then, um, so what? Those things are not misleading, they actually are a part of Japan. Considering it was made by a Japanese director for a Japanese audience, Americans, of Japanese descent or not, need to seriously relax. It'd be one thing if she wore yellow face and enlarged her front teeth and pranced around, but the video is about Harajuku pop culture.

Oh, what a relief. Sorry, that came off just deadpan enough I wasn't sure.
