• Her Dancing With The Stars performance did the same thing, and featured some super weird Orientalism
• After being asked by Rajan Zed, leader of the Universal Society of Hinduism, to stop wearing bindis, she responded by saying, “I think the song has that Hindu, tribal feel and I wanted to translate that. I’ve been learning about my chakra and bindis and the culture … It’s beautiful.”, which is some ignorant, orientalist nonsense
