Das Racist answers Ford Models' Questions


Listening to their raps and watching their interviews, it seems like they really are telling the industry to "shut up," byt refusing to take themselves, or the process of becoming celebrities seriously.

I became fascinated with Das Racist when I realized they almost never take themselves seriously in interviews. In fact, they tend to mock the process.

"Himanshu says that Das Racist is about pan-brownism."

i think Das Racist is a project about race with some jokes and pop culture and internet references in orbit around the race issues, and not vice versa...

"i want to mention that almost everything Himanshu tells me is directly or indirectly about race or discrimination, like his friend's "lineage" or how the firm he worked for was run by south asians for the purpose of finding jobs for other south asians, how his tattoo is about recent waves of immigration and like twenty other things that you'll notice. he is preoccupied with brown peoples' exclusion when he talks about race, and he is sort of on a constant quest to highlight discrimination and explain the world through the lens of being brown."
