Sabrina Carpenter recently came under fire after mocking a crowd member\u2019s ululation during a Coachella performance.<\/p>\n
Carpenter repeatedly called the traditional Arabic and North African vocalization \u201cweird,\u201d despite being told of its significance by the attendee.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that what you\u2019re doing? I don\u2019t like it,\u201d Carpenter asked on stage. \u201cThat\u2019s your culture, yodeling? It\u2019s a call, it\u2019s a call of celebration. Is this Burning Man? What\u2019s going on? This is weird.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the video of the exchange circulated online, it quickly drew criticism, with many pointing out that the singer\u2019s repeated dismissals after learning the cultural significance of the vocalization were the main problem with her actions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love Sabrina, but I\u2019m also Arab,\u201d one social media user wrote. \u201cNobody is saying that she needs to know everything about every culture, but she continued to ignore the culture comment even after she was given a full explanation. \u2018It\u2019s my culture\u2019 should be enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other users took a different approach, acknowledging that the live situation could have caused some misunderstandings, but still expressing their disapproval of Carpenter\u2019s behavior during the event. \u201cI don\u2019t think there was any malintent on her part,\u201d one social media user wrote. \u201cBut she should have at least followed up the culture comment with an \u2018Oh, okay.’\u201d<\/p>\n
Some Arab social media users also rejected the calls to boycott Sabrina Carpenter, pointing out that ignorance of the culture was the reason behind the mistake. \u201cShe clearly has never heard a zaghrouta before,\u201d one of them wrote. \u201cDid she really need to say \u2018weird\u2019? No, but I\u2019m Arab, and it isn\u2019t that deep.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carpenter has not made any public comments about the incident.<\/p>\n
