So Diplo did a concert in Islamabad for the richest most privileged Pakistani kids who could afford to pay upwards of 10 grand (in rupees) for one ticket and he’s acting like he did a charity concert. Not to mention Islamabad is a (violently) rich capital with high-rises, perfect roads, and perfect parks and the picture he chose to upload had a deceivingly ‘underdeveloped third-world country’ background.
“…At the end of the show everyone backstage gave me hugs and hi fives and told me it was a good time but it didn’t feel normal. I almost felt like crying because here we all were at the end of the show with our peace signs in the air at the end of the concert doing something that might be arbitrary for us … On any Saturday night.. We do it every weekend and we don’t realize it’s a privilege.. For these kids from Islamabad Lahore or Karachi or the countryside this is the first time they have ever done that and it might not happen again for a long time. But tonight everyone danced and sang together and wished for a better future and maybe it might make it easier for it to happen…”
Sorry to burst your bubble bud but there’s a rave (or two or three) in Lahore/Islamabad/Karachi literally every weekend. You’re not special. You catered to the richest of the rich in Pakistan and other than them no one would even give a shit about who you are.
And better yet, the white people in his comments section are acting like he’s saved dying kids:
“Wow makes me wanna cry. I feel your words making the picture in my mind how much you impacted them for giving them a moment of joy. Wow touched my heart. xoxo love you“
Never underestimate that white saviour complex.
LMAAAAOOOOOOO SOMEONE GIT THIS WHITE BOY!!!!
