  actually, we had a guanyin in our Chinese living room when I was as kid…until I broke one of her arms off. WOOPS! So yes, my people have one too! That said, they may have just shared one, and didn’t even know it. In any case, I’m not personally offended.

  “heartbroken geisha?” you obviously dont know what a geisha looks like. No part of her look is japanese.

  And like someone pointed out already, the multi-arm thing is also buddhist imagery, which is a huge part of chinese culture.

  Whoever worked on the video obviously did more research than you.

  yeah stylite – I’m disappointed in you again. First off this is a Coldplay song so picking on Rihanna is just too aggressive - blame them if you want to discuss culture. Keep your comments on the clothes since that’s what you’re best at. 

  and pick a link that works next time… the vevo channel is the only place to watch the official version. Please do better research next time.

  Hmm…Guanyin is a multi-armed goddess of China and is often featured in Chinese cultural performances, so you’re not correct that she is missing the mark with this reference. Sorry.

  and ninjas and taiko drums would be…(hint J*******)?? whereas flying martial arts and the cheongsam she’s wearing would be…(hint C******)?? All in all, it’s a pretty f**king sad mess of whatever the video producers cared to imagine through their completely ignorant/careless western lens. Chinese/Japanese, what’s the difference really, right guys??

  At least the song sucks even more than the video. (Also good to know Chris Martin is willing to sell out completely. Nicely done all.)

  All this oversensitivity that is happening lately in the spotlight is rediculous. This is the USA offensive to the rst of the world from the time we said we wanted independance. This is hte melting pot not the keep everything segratated pot. If modern concepualization does not fit your profile of appropriate attire or presentation then you go dress in something 300 years old or older and stick to your narrow minded concept of cultural insolence. If progress adn cultural melding is offensive to other countries of cultures, then let them be offended and let the USA keep moving forward with blending them into something stronger and better.
