In the wake of Mountain Dew pulling the ad he directed after it was slammed online for perpetuating racial stereotypes [click here if you missed that], Tyler the Creator says he's baffled by why people think the ad was racist...
Tyler tells Billboard,
"I guess people are claiming that it's racist, which... you know, that wasn't even portrayed in that commercial, there's no type of hate being portrayed in that work of art at all - which I'm confused by...
"I mean, (the criticism is) not gonna change my art in any way. I just hope that somehow, if it gets bigger or if it disappears tomorrow, that it just opens people's minds up."
"I just actually can't believe that somebody sat there and pointed out that it was all black people, instead of being confused that it was a freaking goat talking. That's mind-blowing. That's mind-blowing that people still think like that."
