Yeah I’m not really sure if that’s enough to cancel anyone or call them racist? It’s a 20 second clip of three separate incidents – some of them only one or two seconds long – presented without any context that could literally have multiple different explanations for them.
Think if anyone truly wants to try and cancel Billie Eilish then they need to do a better job than this, but the clip already has almost a million views so people are clearly taking notice. Don’t really think Billie needs to answer anything here though, do you?
