Believe it or not, pop star Katy Perry actually thought it was a GOOD idea to dress up as a geisha during her 2013 VMAs performance. Donning a modified kimono and a heavily-powdered face, the “Unconditionally” singer was blasted for both cultural appropriation and the harmful use of stereotypes while belting out her chart-topping hit. While the singer-songwriter eventually apologized, many still viewed her “bastardization” of other cultures as unquestionably racist.
