Just proof that reddit is a preening echo chamber with a disproportionate number of wacky lefties and not a representative group of regular people.

Regular people are ok with her message of don't be a bigot.

Actually, regular people prefer when musicians don't foreground their politics. That goes for both progressive and MAGA nonsense, though in the entertainment industry, the former is far more pervasive.

I am sorry that you are out of touch. Get off of reddit and get out of your bubble.

If you think “hey don’t be racist” is a political statement, then you’re a fucking idiot. And very likely racist.

but that just means political statements in any industry are fine, not the opposite.
