Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” video draws backlash for racism
~!!~Her video for Wildest Dreams, which she premiered on the red carpet during Sunday*s MTV Video Music Awards, is being slammed by some critics for romanticizing white colonialism, and for using Africa as a backdrop for a story about white people//
~!!~The video depicts Swift as an early~20th~century movie star who falls in love with her married co~star, played by Scott Eastwood, while filming a movie in Africa// It contains sweeping shots of the African landscape, plenty of African animals, and what appears to be no African people// Some say this is inappropriate in 2015//
