No Doubt Bans Their Own Video
No Doubt killed their own video yesterday for "Looking Hot" after many, many people yelled at them for playing "Cowboys & Indians" in it. The video, which shows Gwen Stefani as some kind of white-haired Native American princess who gets tied up by cowboys and does sexy moves in a teepee, was alive on YouTube and Vimeo for just 24 hours before it was yanked down. After No Doubt pulled the video down, they threw an apology up on their website (via HuffPo) where they said they consulted many Native American experts (aka smoked peyote while watching a Bugs Bunny cartoon).
As a multi-racial band our foundation is built upon both diversity and consideration for other cultures. Our intention with our new video was never to offend, hurt or trivialize Native American people, their culture or their history. Although we consulted with Native American friends and Native American studies experts at the University of California, we realize now that we have offended people. This is of great concern to us and we are removing the video immediately. The music that inspired us when we started the band, and the community of friends, family, and fans that surrounds us was built upon respect, unity and inclusiveness. We sincerely apologize to the Native American community and anyone else offended by this video. Being hurtful to anyone is simply not who we are.
- No Doubt
I'm just gonna go ahead and assume that the Native American studies expert they consulted was Cuntess LuMann:

^^ THIS. Finally, a voice of reason.
All I want to know is when LuAnne's next song is coming out. People are fighting everywhere; we need a reminder that elegance is learned. My friend.
And it's not that people get "more and more sensitive." It might surprise you that these people never found that shit, or other shit that you don't care or want to or have to think about because you are just driving by, funny. They were always "sensitive"; it's just that this goddamn multicultural shit, predated by civil rights movements, has given these people a voice that we now, unfortunately, have to hear. Fuck this shit, where's mah beer!
Yeah, I hate when people get all sensitive and shit because then it makes me think (ha, ha THAT word) about why they might be. No way, man, fuck that. I guarantee you that people who do that are pussys. Now get me mah beer!

I would think that if you feel the need to "consult" with anyone when you're making a video, it should be a giant red flag that maybe you should come up with another concept.
this
The song sucks ass.
But now dressing up as an Indian = racist? Seriously?
Can I just say, that color of her hair hurts my fucking eyes.
Also, I find it equally as disconcerting when people try to hold Native's to a higher status than any other human being. If we aren't looked upon as drunken casino owning savages, we're looked upon as being this beyond human mythical creature who somehow has the otherworldly ability to connect with spirituality on a higher plain than anyone, to me that's a personal thing and no one has a right to downgrade or judge who is more spiritual than whom. No one is perfect, no one is innocent regardless of race or ethnicity, that in itself is still a form of inequality and prejudice, and it's always bothered me. WAY more than this video or anyone dressing up as an "indian in a teepee ever could."

"What if all you understand could fit into the center of a hand? And then you found it wasn't you, who held the sum of everything you knew?"
I finally watched the video and it's just silly. I mean, a platinum blonde NA woman with high-heeled boots? They must have meant for it to be goofy. I'm not offended, but between the lame song and the stupid video, I'm definitely not impressed. What would be impressive would be if they wrote a good song about NA issues, either contemporary or historical, and made the video costumes true to real life. That would be very difficult, and I would be very impressed.

It's a fucking music video by a pop band. I just KNOW that there are far more important things to worry about. I have always had tremendous regard for the Native American culture and disgust at what the white settlers did to them but, seriously, this is a music video. Freedom of expression, you know? I mean no disrespect but please worry about more important things.

That video could not be more offensive. Native Americans wear such clothing for religious ceremonies. Only bullies and abusers claim others are being too sensitive when they complain about mistreatment.
Native Americans were driven off their land, deliberately made sick and were victims of genocide. Now we have a Native American saint, Kateri Tekawitha who was just canonized. Her entire family was wiped out by smallpox and she was made blind, but she forgave and taught peace. Native Americans are a deeply spiritual people with tremendous reverence for nature and life.
Gwen is a phenomenally ignorant woman. Like TR says, "God don't like ugly" and that is Stefani.
This is kind of like that religious debate with the guy posing as Hipster Jesus on the magazine. And people pointed out that if it were say; Muslim, everyone would get up in arms. This is the same thing. Why is it okay to mock one race/ ethnicity and one is off limits? Lets face it, Human beings overall THROUGHOUT HISTORY have a tendency of being shitty, regardless of what form we take, everyone has a tendency to be hypocritical, and judgmental...everyone does.Regardless of race, gender, whatever...I think you're ahead of the game if you can at least admit it and be self aware. I can't tell you how many times I have seen people of 2 or 3 different races sitting down at say a park, and someone of the same race as one of the people sitting down will walk by, and only acknowledge the race of the person that they are. I feel like if we can all learn to laugh and make fun of each other equally without it being more or less okay to joke one over the other, this would be a better fucking place. Also, like others said, the only real offense is that the video was crappy, and the song was equally as crappy. They should have called it day after tragic kingdom.

JFC, this woman is such a ditz, as is her band. "Do you think I'm looking HOTT?" while I'm tied up and about to get raped? And omg, look-blonde Injuns! I usually don't mind that she appropriates cultures-she's just a clueless girl who wants to have fun with nonAmerican things. As an Indian I didn't get bothered during her bhindi phase because I think she's just kind of harmlessly shallow, but this video was just idiotic and so historically ignorant. The song is also terrible and grating, and she doesn't even seem into it in the video. I saw this band live years ago, and even during the "Rock Steady" tour Gwen seemed bored. Her talent was her spunk and her voice combined, and without good material, her voice is just grating. This video also makes me sad. I hate that we don't acknowledge the suffering of Native Americans as we do African Americans because the histories seem equally tragic. Perhaps it's the lack of Native American celebrities and popular spokespeople, knowledge about this issue is just not widespread enough, imo.
IMO, both the video and the music sucked, but I have no comment about it being offensive, it was just lame. Then again, I'm not a Native American.
I'm offended by that atrocity of a song. And FUCK YES to what Libressa said. Also Gwen is a tard but my Lil Peep loves her line at Target so I buy her that shit when its

See, now, that Spirit Halloween costume was just plain dumb. The part about the sexy Indian looking for her John Smith was especially nauseating. It's not paying homage; it's just a generic, plastic squaw outfit.
Now if a girl were to look up a tribe out of personal interest and attempt to replicate the gear of the females that tribe, it would be a thoughtful and intelligent costume.
I think you have to be really bored to be offended by a GD No Doubt video. I'm a Catholic and a Croatian that's constantly mistaken for a Russian kid. I had a few people call me "comrade" as a joke and made vodka jokes to me. You know what? It doesn't bother me because there are WAY more important things to worry/get offended by. If I don't like something, I say my piece and leave it at that. Everyone gets so bent out of shape easily anymore, it makes me wonder how people deal with the real world nowadays.

To offer a contrasting video, I liked Nelly Furtado's Big Hoops live performance at the Billboard Awards. She worked with some great hoop dancers from...Cali, I think? and they choreographed their own dancing and made their own costumes. There was a behind the scenes vid on it that was good, but I can't find it now.

God don't like ugly.
She looks so young
The song is terrible
That's all.
This has nothing to do with censorship or being PC. It's all about publicity. If No Doubt were truly sensitive and aware of what would offend a culture, it would've never occurred to them to do a video this stupid in the first place.
The whole thing about not offending people isn't about people being too sensitive. It's about people communicating effectively. You can speak freely and act freely, just be smart enough and strong enough to handle the consequences. If you don't want to be called a racist, you don't say or do racist things. If you don't mind being called a racist, then there's no need for apologies.
The last time Gwen had a big hit, there weren't that many rivals around taking away attention. Now she needs a stunt. No Doubt basically farted in their own home, then ran outside, told everybody they farted and apologized for the smell that no one knew about
If she just wanted to be artistic and didn't care who it offended, that's one thing. But to do something release it then self-ban it with a public apology is just marketing. It wouldn't have been made if they didn't OK it. No one would've known about it if they didn't make a big deal of apologizing before anyone asked them to.
I guess Madonna's writing her apology speeches as they're putting on her blackface and Aunt Jemima costume as we speak. Lol
I can't watch the video, so I cannot provide an opinion as to that. But I think our town's university is a better place because they are now the red wolves, in contrast to the red braves and squaws who were portrayed in ridiculous and dehumanizing ceremonies before. People around here were really angry about it at first. Now, after a couple of years, they are thrilled to aaaaahhhh-oooooohhhh!!!! at games. They still look dumb to me, but at least they are not a bunch of stupid rednecks displaying their ignorance, perpetuating ridiculous stereotypes and cheering on grotesque caricatures.
It's not the biggest deal in the world, but it is progress, and I will take it whenever I can get it.
So, if there is a porno movie and the actors play pirate and the slave girl, which culture are they offending. ;)
As a scandanavian I am constantly offended by depictions of my viking ancestors as warlike and agressive....
The american indians I used to hang with had real issues in their lives and community and had no time or interest in this sort of crap. But they weren't millionaire heads of non-profit groups whos sole purpose was to get media attention by complaining.

Also, I'd be really interested to know if the ones that were offended, were actually Native American.
Victimhood and persecution are the coin of the realm in our dystopian culture today. So, gewn can't dress like an indian because its racist and offensive? Does that mean other cultures can't dress like white people?
In any case, policia is spanish, and the bass player had kokopelli hair.
I don't give a fuck about what all the victim advocacy groups say to get more money and attention by scouring the earth for ever more minor infractions of imaginary rules.
What the settlers and federal government did to american indians in the 1800s was genocide--that's serious. A little horseplay using stereotypes of american indian clothing? Honor your ancestors by not trivializing real injustice and suffering.
PS. The song bored me and I could only take a minute of it. Also, the video was irritating with too many cuts.
PSS. Gwen just needs to learn what everybody else knows already--the only group it is politically correct to dishonor is Christians and tea party devils. ;)
When I was in college--the first one before I transferred--we were the Indians. Our red mascot had a huge nose and ran around with a tomahawk to scalp an effigy of the other team's mascot, while the school band played a powwow-type theme. I am 1/4 Cherokee and was born in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. I wasn't really offended so much as I thought the people who participated in it were complete and total morons. But thinking back, the way they made that mascot so ugly with his huge nose was sort of like the way the Nazis portrayed Jews in their propaganda. Anyway, the university's mascot recently changed to the red wolf. The red wolf used to roam the land around here, but it is now extinct in our area.
My opinion was that the mascot should have been the Skeeters, since with all the rice fields around here, those vicious bastards make life a living hell in the summer. Don't you want your team mascot to be intimidating?
Gwen has a habit of offending people. Does anyone remember what she did with those Japanese women from her tour? Obviously, Gwen hasn't got a clue about what's going on.
I found this as offensive as Chris Brown's choice of Halloween costume. Geeze, talk about every Native American stereotype shown. The tepee, the headdress, geez.
As a previous poster commented, if you have to ask communities if something is alright, that's a good sign it isn't.
What I want to know is why Gwen doesn't exploit her own Italian heritage.
I don't see what was offensive. And I really was watching closely. You can't pull a video every time if offends someone, because there will ALWAYS be someone offended. I wouldn't have pulled it.

Hmmm. Well, I didn't see too much there to be offended by, but I'm in the not-overly sensitive camp.
Also, I'd be really interested to know if the ones that were offended, were actually Native American.
However, if some were, and voiced their opinion about it and No Doubt cared that they had offended someone and pulled it. Good for them.
The song is awful, the video is awful, and they just got a TON of free press about it. Golf clap.
