Under-fire popstar David Guetta has responded to claims that his promotional video for the F*** Me I’m Famous party in Pacha was racist by claiming “it’s not racist if they hate you back”.
“I’m French, I think I know how racism works,” offered Guetta from the back of a horse wearing a war bonnet. “And it’s only racist if you’re racist against someone that likes you, but if they also hate you then you’re fine.”
“Just look at the tensions between Algerian Muslims in France and the white French population, there’s nothing racist or discriminatory going on there because both groups hate each other, equally.”
Guetta, who says that some of his best friends are Native Indians who hate him, found himself under attack from accusations of cultural appropriation following the video which featured white people fetishizing Native American symbolism and tropes to promote a nightclub.
“So thankfully I kinda get away with using the video on account of how widely hated I am,” he explained. “I mean, they constantly call me a long-haired, white, privileged Western cunt who could buy and sell people if he chose to and it hurts my feelings.”
“But you don’t see me getting on my high horse and crying about it,” he added. “Mainly because they won’t let me have the horse in the nightclub anymore.”
