Mrs. GREEN APPLE newest MV ‘Columbus’ gets taken down due to “racist depictions”

 
Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s MV for new song ‘Columbus’ gets taken down, “We showed a lack of understanding to the history and cultural scenery.”
In the MV they group dressed up as historical figures, Motoki Ohmori (Vo / Gt) plays Columbus, Hiroto Wakai (Gt) as Napoleon and Ryoka Fujisawa (Key) as Beethoven. The MV depicts an imaginary world: “What if historical figures took a trip together from different times of life?” 

During the trip, it shows more than 5 million years ago where they happen to come across apes that are shown having a home party. On social media it was criticized for its ”Discriminatory depictions.”

1. [+1551, -17] How did this plan get approved to be released?

2. [+1336, -8] The problem is that nobody stopped this even though they’re from a big company

3. [+1012, -454] They got a bit too carried away

4. [+693, -104] It’s a miss rather than a Mrs. Green Apple

5. [+656, -14] It was truly puzzling when I saw it. What a weird thing to release to the public

6. [+652, -14] Wasn’t Columbus was a slave trader?

7. [+607, -27] I saw the MV before it got erased, the whole thing was extremely bad. It was just plain tacky. Just how much longer will the Japanese people consider themselves the honorary whites? It’s obvious why this is receiving hate. It’s good that they’re in Japan because there’s no threat to their safety 

8. [+513, -19] When I first saw this MV it left a bitter taste in my mouth. I can’t understand how they can release this to the world, why with such things in it? I feel scared  knowing that the people a part of it and even the members themselves had no issue with it

9. [+483, -105] Ignorance is a crime. This thick makeup group is exposing the fact that they have no education. The fans defending this matter have a low IQ as well

10. [+157, -359] Guys, you’re hating on them too much
           >> 11. [+220, -3] So if this is OK, then if Japanese people are also seen in the same light
           >> 12. [+135, -8] I think this is a huge problem actually 

13. [+29, -408] But isn’t this the reality of history? White people taught civilization to monkeys
           >> 14. [+130, -0] Aren’t white people also monkeys if we go back in history enough? www
           >> 15. [+6, -0] What are you saying? Black people were the first homosapiens who lived

16. [+4, -83] They’re cosplaying as white people as a way to honor them? Just because Mrs. Green Apple’s faces are strong and their clothes look good?
