I am a 28 year old African American male!.

Paramore stays on play on my ipod i love the whole album but recently when i saw the video for "Thats what you get" i didnt see any people of color!. this did not sit well with me!. as artist i think they have a responaibility to to show a variety off all races because its not only white people who support them!. i mean not even a mexican thrown in the joint and there everywhere!. what do you guys think am i buggin for nothing or whatWww@Enter-QA@Com

That is kinda ignorant, it is not a band responsibility to show different races in their videoWww@Enter-QA@Com

Well i love paramore! and i dont really think that they ment anything by not having people of different races in their music video!.!.!. i know it may hurt you to see no one of your race in this video but they couldnt put every race in the world into one music video to make everyone happy!.!.!.the video is only like 5 mins long!.!.!.if you really loved paramore(well as much as i do) it wouldn't really matter what their music videos looked likeWww@Enter-QA@Com

I think you're making a big deal out of something that, in reality, matters very little!. It's simply a music video, and I'm sure Paramore didn't intentionally leave out minorities!. I could see how, if they were trying to make a statement of sort, this might be particularly upsetting!. But, as far as I know, they weren't!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It's no big deal, really!.

I mean honestly, it's not like while they were making the video the band was thinking "We're not going to put black people in here because we're racist", ya know!?

I'm certainly not racist, but just because there's not a black person in a freakin' music video does not mean you should get all pissed about it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I've seen the music video, and it didn't really bother me!. I am African American, and I know most people are surprised when I tell them I listen to rock music!. But I don't really care that much that there were not any people of color in that music video!. It is just a music video, after all!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't really pay much attention to Paramore, but if it becomes a trend/if the past videos also don't have minorities, then I'd feel a bit pissed!. But if it's just one video it's probably not a big deal!. Maybe you're reading too far into this!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

Maybe they weren't trying to be politically correct, to be frank the western world is to politically correct these days!.

It doesn't mean they are racist, its just their music video, they don't have to fill an ethnic quota!.

Get over it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I'm African-Am' too & you might have to trash videos from Maaany other acts besides them if that's what you're looking for!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It's a stupid pop-punk music video, not an Anti-Racist Action campaign ad!.

Get over yourself!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

um, excuse me but the lead singer is a minority!
stop being ignorant!
I mean most rap & hip hop videos don't have white people in them, maybe you should put more whites in them!Www@Enter-QA@Com

**** POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!!!Www@Enter-QA@Com

Why can't white people dance in Soulja Boy videos!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

it's just a music video!Www@Enter-QA@Com

damn! not every video has to have mixed races! geez dudeWww@Enter-QA@Com

umm; hater much!?
im black and i dont have a problem!.!.!.to be honest i haven't even noticed it untill you brought it up!.
i know music is supposed to be a equal thing, but you cant cram over 20 ethnicities in one music video!.
plus you are taking this from the wrong perspective!.
if there was only minorities in there, you would be like "OMG WHERE ARE THE CAUCASIANS" would you!?i think not!.
you dont see young jeezey kickin it with a caucasian person in his videos other than that boost mobile commercial and the "dancers" probably!.
im just saying!. music is an art and if people want to go around with that mentality, than f**k listening to music, because there will be no more joy in it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think emo is generally a racist area!. It's the domain of skinny, spoilt white middle class kids!.

None of the emo kids I know are anything other than that and none of them mix with any other type of people!. I don't think this is a coincidence to be honest!.

I knew this would get the response it did but I do think it IS a big deal, actually!. In a society with various types of people, I think it is important that all groups get represented!. That goes for the USA, the UK and any other countries that claim to be truly multi-cultural!.

I see white people in hip hop videos, I know loads of white rappers!. It's just that most of them are crap!. And I'm white!Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't see any white people in rap videos, unless we're getting robbed!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
