Pop Star Billie Eilish Apologizes After Facing Backlash for Using Racial Slurs: ‘Appalled and Embarrassed’

Billie Eilish said she is “appalled and embarrassed” after a video of the Grammy-winning pop star and Democrat party activist resurfaced last week, showing the teen star mouthing racist slurs.

The Black Lives Matter-marching pop sensation landed in the midst of a race scandal after a TikTok video went viral online appearing to show Eilish mocking Asian accents, including using a racial slur against people of Chinese descent.

In the undated and edited clip, Eilish appears to speak gibberish in a mock Asian accent and to use the word “chink.” At another point in the video, her brother Finneas appears to call her out for speaking with a “blaccent,” or black accent.

"...appalled and embarrassed..." that she got caught. Gee, I wonder if Fender has dropped her signature line yet? Probably not. Maybe a letter to the company? Grammy taken back? Nah! Billboard cancellation? Nah! Fans bailing? Nah! After all, she hates Trump so there is that.

When china starts WWIII with us the word chink will be used like the word japs during WWII and without any guilt and I expect chinese students and other will be rounded up and interned and no one will say a word.

War is coming with china and it’s going to be bad.

That's OK, because I've never heard of Billie Eilish.   Woke joke, what's for lunch?   You fool!

The term “Democrat party activist” is an apt title for this foreigner making money in the U.S. while attacking Americans for her globalist masters.

Well that’s a different slant on it. Almost a slippery slope. 😲

When China starts WWII, Americans will be jailed for using the word, "Chink", and White Christian men will be rounded up.

She may be from another planet, but she's not from another country.

What makes you think China hasn’t already started it?

Surprised Rod Stewart hasn’t been cancelled for “Every Picture Tells a Story” for referencing the “slit-eyed lady”.

People like her get away with this because they all know that this whole diversity thing isn’t real, it’s just a tool to beat up conservatives.

Billie Eilish was born in Los Angeles. Her brother and both parents are actors. She has often been criticized by the Wokesters as using her privilege and connections to jump to the head of the line in the music business as opposed to more talented people who have trouble getting noticed. How that translates into a foreigner is one of those mysteries only you know about.

She’s appalled? Did someone else do it? To describe her own behavior as making her feel dismayed seems to impart some type of disconnection. For someone whose nauseatingly brooding music is centered around her own emotions, she certainly seems detached from it.

My suggestion to her is to kill herself, it’s the only way to save her soul.

Libs see and hate racism EXACTLY because they are the biggest racists there are...they are just unaware of it because it’s so much a part of them.

It is funny when a member of the virtue signaling brigade gets caught being unvirtuous. As if we don’t know that the whole Hollyweird crowd is as politically incorrect, depraved and misogynist as they want to be behind closed doors.

Hypocrites.
