i'm always amazed how few people really get the video. The exact same stuff happens and worse to people all over the world constantly.

It's not about any political message in particular except freedom. Anyone who watches this video and thinks it's an attack on gingers is missing the point, it's only gingers because they're the most recent group to be scrutinized as a race.
By not making it about any actual conflict that exists the video becomes more about freedom than any one message

it's totally political...
... the video mocks reality w/a known 'group of people' easy to pick on...
.. jeez... you're not gonna make me spew the politics revealed through that silly video are you?

go pony boy.
that's not even politics btw, it's faking to b political.
The goal is clearly just to chock and get views on youtube.

... fuck 'artists' who get all political... just make some cool music so I escape the annoyances of this world... ... if I want politics I'll turn on cnn or what-have-you...
... terrible video btw... was stupid and over-the-top a month ago... and even more so now.
Lame.

Based on his other videos it seemed like Romain Gavras was just about making people look badass with lots of violence and ball-battling, even if there was no point to any of it.
It's refreshing that he's finally using those techniques to convey a theme of some sort.

You people seen this?
I'm glad M.I.A is continuing to use her fame to make a point instead of succumbing to the meaningless headbanger party world that she's associated with.
