Yeah, it is the kind of sloppiness that very well could be - and usually is - motivated by racism. (Though I have no idea how famous these people are - I’d literally never heard of them before now, but I’m not very pop-music aware.) It’s just that usually it’s completely, blazingly obvious that everyone involved in the process engaged in hugely racist ineptitude, whereas in this case it’s actually plausible some of them were blameless.
