Stefani admitted that she gets “a little defensive” when people bring up the topic of appropriation
Photo: Getty Images/Getty Images If you were of conscious mind in the mid-aughts, you might remember when Gwen Stefani was obsessed with Japanese culture. So much, in fact, that she enlisted four “Harajuku girls” to be her backup dancers in music videos and on tour, while also accompanying her to various public appearances.
Now, this was 2004, and it was a different time back then. The presence of a white woman basically using four Asian women as ornamental props didn’t cause much of an uproar. But some people noticed. Comedian Margaret Cho spoke out at the time, saying, “I want to like them, and I want to think they are great, but I am not sure if I can. I mean, racial stereotypes are really cute sometimes, and I don’t want to bum everyone out by pointing out the minstrel show.
