No Doubt's Looking Hot is in Hot Water

So apparently No Doubt is getting some backlash from their video for Looking Hot. One thing is undeniable, Gwen is definitely looking hot in this video. You'll have to forgive the crappy stills because all of the versions of this video, if you can still find it, are bootleg copies of a copy. But if you're lucky enough to find a video still in the air (I found this one to get the stills) you can see for yourself.

Despite the video being taken down left and right, I quickly screen capped as much of Gwen and her fabulous fashion in this video because for people not to see it would be the real crime. Gwen, you are no rag muffin (as says the lyrics), you're the Xena of Native American's in this video.

Ok, so when you watch the video you can see why it might be offensive. Because you know, it's a bunch of white people dressed as Native Americans battling some white and a few token black people dressed up as cowboys who were just drinking and partying. Yeah, to Native Americans who were captured and enslaved by white people it would be offensive. It would also be offensive to be portrayed as alcoholics since you know, Native Americans battle that disease a lot.

So my question is, you go after No Doubt for portraying things that happened in American history, are you also going to go after every movie studio who makes a Western movie that does the same thing? Have all of these tribes and offended Native American's gone after the Starz Westerns channel for playing movies that depict Native American's in unattractive light? GET OVER YOURSELVES.

They weren't trying to be offensive, they were being artistic. Let's hear every argument about how disploiting a culture isn't art. *gags* I'm sorry, so Native American culture can only be displayed by Native Americans and Blacks can only display things that are strickly from black culture so what are white people or Americans in general since we are a mixture of all cultures allowed to display?
I'm Mexican and UK Mutt (My family has no clue if we're Scottish, English, Welsh or Irish, we just know we're from the Mother Country) so what I'm only half allowed to post pictures of sugar skulls and half allowed to post pictures of... well anything from any country in the UK? Or am I not allowed to post any of it because I don't know my heritage?

When is it ok? Or are you saying it is never ok to display appreciation for other cultures that are not my own? I'm just wondering where this arbitrary line is so that I don't cross it. Heaven forbid that something I do or say is offensive to someone else. I'm joking. I really don't care if you're offended by something I say. My blog, my rules. It just pisses me off to no end when people have to censor their art because they don't want to step on toes. That is what art is all about. Well, most of it. I love the video. I think Gwen is looking fierce channeling her Spirit Animal and sending up smoke signals in the desert.

What say you my readers?
Is the video and No Doubt's portrayal offensive or artistic?
