15 Terrible Lyrics In Popular Songs

6. Lady Gaga - Born This Way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV1FrqwZyKw "Whether you're white, black, beige, Chola descent. You're Lebanese, you're orient." Woah there Gaga. For a song all about inclusion and acceptance, those are some pretty inappropriate terms you're throwing out there. White, OK, fine, we know what you mean. Black, sure, we can figure it out. Beige...uh...well, now we're into tricky territory. Chola WARNING WARNING, this term is often used as a slur against Latinos, proceed with caution. Lebanese, yep, back on safe-ish ground. Orient? Nope, shut it down, that's not acceptable unless you're addressing a rug.
