In the specific clip that has upset lots of people on the internet, Justin Bieber can be seen wearing a hat and a bright loose shirt that he comments on. The 27-year old artist says he looks like "Fidel Castro" and follows up by saying that he looks like a "Cuban Drug lord." The couple can be seen bantering and having a conversation with a lot of stereotypes in the video:

"I wasn't going to say Fidel Castro but I was going to say you look like a mexican (a cuban drug lord) yeah"

The "Baby" singer then goes into a crude Italian impression saying "Give me the money," which Hailey then mocks and adds to by saying "it's a me, Mario" while making the pinched finger gesture that is commonly associated with Italians.

Justin and Hailey Bieber both being racist doesn't surprise me in the slightest, they both have racist pasts. So they definitely deserve each other, I can't stand either of them.

While the couple may have angered many people on the internet, there are a few people out there in the minority who believe the incident is blown out of proportion, and that people are "reaching" to make them look bad.

Aren’t peoples arms getting tired from all of this reaching
