I would like to know: what you think about Sabrina Carpenter's reaction at the MENA fan cheering with a Zaghrouta during her Choacella performance ?

I feel that all would go out so smoothly if she just..ignored it. I do not know if she wanted to sound sarcastic and funny and "quirky" by acknowledging the fan and calling it yodeling or if she really was annoyed by it, but i am always surprised by how those famous and highly trained stars end up in such embarrassing situations when they could easily avoid it. All could go smooth even if she said something as "oh nice" or "ah ok" after the fan said "its cultural". I fear that she just wanted to be funny and end up being rude and disrespectful.

I also do not understand why people act like the offensive part was the comparison to yodel, they are both cultural high pitched cheering sound so yeah : for everyone that only and exclusively know yodel, a germanic cultural cheer wildly known in western world, all the high pitched sounds "obviously" are yodels.

Eh, I give her a pass on this one. She was on stage reacting to the audience reacting to her, it wasn't her randomly bothering someone who was minding their business or making some grand statement about what kinds of celebrations are or are not acceptable/normal at her concerts/anywhere.

EVERYONE in the planet has had that moment of "wtf?" when met with something of a foreign culture without having enough context to even recognize it as a cultural thing. Hell, we all have had it several times in our lives and will continue to have it until we die. It's a neutral phenomenom, it only crosses the line into racism when people use the immediately confusion of that first moment as justification to say "nobody is allowed to do anything that isn't part of MY culture."

I was critical of how Sabrina handled her security team in the mess with Chappell Roan (and Roan's own botched responses to the situation that made it worse), but I am not gonna give Sabrina crap for a mundane thing that isn't that serious, much like I didn't give Chappell crap for not liking it when paparazzi yelled obscene shit at her.
