WTF: Nicki Minaj’s “Your Love”

“That’s SOOOO stupid!”

The Daughter was referring to the song we were listening to on the radio, in particular, the following lyrics of the song “Your Love” by Nicki Minaj:

When I was a Geisha he was a Samurai
Somehow I understood him when he spoke Thai

“Samurais don’t speak Thai,” she added.   Well, I’m glad that The Daughter knew that – didn’t want to think that all of those years of school (and tuition payments) went to waste!  The video and the song are exoticized mishmashes of different Asian cultures.   I suppose I should be offended by how different Asian cultures are weirdly mixed together, but I figure it’s just an annoying song. Should I be offended? What do you all think?
