DW Diaz Takes on Hipster Appropriation With 'Genocide Chic'

ICTMN Staff
September 19, 2011

Here's a bit of cutting satire from writer/actress DW Diaz—strong stuff in the style of Sacha Baron Cohen. (Note that she's using a human being as furniture; that seems a direct tribute to a certain scene from Bruno.)

What do you think—is it funny, or does it go to far?

I think it is hilarious. She does a good job representing ignorance on the part of the fashion industry.

It's STUPID, LAME and not in good taste. I feel that this is not funny. It's just stupid.

Funny or too far? Neither. Just unremarkable, in my opinion.

It goes to far. The description is not fair to the Indians. To make it respectful, Indians need be included. Otherwise, it sends a mixed signal to our young people and they learn from it.
