Yayoi Kusama Controversy: What Did She Say? Scandal & Racial Remark
People often wonder whether Yayoi Kusama is racist for the reasons stated above. As previously indicated, Kusama has made racist statements on several occasions. According to a Hyper Allergic article, Kusama often does not talk about or show Black women, instead focusing on Black males, their lips, and private parts, gloating about the orgies she claims to have seen in Harlem. Her White peers were recognized to be making more controversial work. In 1963, Norman Rockwell painted “The Problem We All Live With.”
