Nobody likes if their culture is made fun of; especially something they are extremely proud of, like Indian classical music. It takes years and years of practice and dedication to master the art, so when a YouTuber allegedly made fun of it, it did not go down well with people.
James Charles is facing flak from the public because in one of his new videos, he is apparently seen making fun of Indian classical music.?
The clip featuring the popular content-creator was shared on Twitter by user @monstax4grammys and has left people quite disappointed with Charles's behaviour.?
In the 13-second-long video, Charles can be seen trying out a new filter and trying to lip-sync to an Indian classical tune that plays in the background. However, what has made people furious with the YouTuber, is that it appears he is laughing in a mocking manner as the tune plays.?
The Internet is calling him out for 'disrespecting Indian culture' and almost every comment on the video is about how it takes years of practice to be an Indian classical singer, and how the celebrity is making fun of people who dedicate their entire lives to learning and perfecting the art.
However, it is also important to note that it is easily possible that he was just making fun of how his face looks with the filter and not the tune.?
The video has over 100,000 views and people are going at it in the comment/retweet section.
