Once again Lady Gaga has offended scores of people with her ignorance when it comes to culture and race. Stefani landed in Bangkok for her next show and tweeted
So, Stefani lands in a country with tons of history and culture and this is the only thing that stands out for her about being there. Interesting. The fake Rolex comment is unbelievably annoying when it's obvious she can afford a real one. Stefani is a pretender, pretending to be like the regular folk and wants everyone to believe that she is on our level. This coming from someone who paid almost $200,000 for a car. When I see her driving around in a used Suzuki, then talk to me about a fake Rolex.
Thai DJ Surahit Siamwalla tweeted 'We are more civilized than you think'. Siamwalla has a ticket to Friday's show in Bangkok but said he plans to boycott.
On pantip.com, a Thai popular web board, some people said they were insulted by her comments and will cancel their plans to watch her concert.

Thai are understandably offended when ignorant outsiders like Stefani focus on the negative aspects of a country instead of taking the time to learn about the richness of it. Read a book Stefani, and no, Vogue magazine doesn't count as reading.
Nont Armarttasn, fan or perhaps a former fan, sarcastically noted on his Facebook page. 'Welcome to the land of counterfeit products, love,' he said. 'I'm sure there are plenty of fake Gaga CDs, too.' Everyone in Thailand should burn their Born This Way CD and buy fake ones just to make a statement. In fact, someone should sell fakes outside the venue the night of her show.
The lady market comment could be another form of ignorance, or stupidity, whatever you want to call it. The Lady Market in Hong Kong is a very popular outdoor market that sells knock offs.
Stefani must be assuming that because she's in another Asian city, they must have a lady market too. Just like all people from Asia are Chinese!
This isn't the first time Stefani had her lack of knowledge severely confused.
We can add this to the list of culturally ignorant comments spewed by Lady Gaga. Do you remember when she was in Japan and painted her eyes like a panda bear thinking she was giving homage to Japanese culture? Someone should have told her that the panda is part of Chinese culture.
