Singer Aaron Carter is being accused of racism after he posted an Instagram video of himself using a Chinese accent to order Chinese food over the phone.
Carter is seen on his own Instagram placing an order for food from a Chinese restaurant. It's clear he's using an Asian accent while saying phrases like "General Tso's chicken" and "crab rangoon."
Like, what.
He wrote with the post:
"When your friends can't order Chinese food chicken in NYC AND you have to SHOW THEM YOURE cultural status #satire."
It seems he thought using the hash tag "satire" would clear him from all wrongdoing, but it clearly does not.

"Dude. Get help," said glitterfresh.
"You are such a loser.

Carter even engaged with detractors underneath the post. When someone said to him "Aaron Carter you need help. Serious help," Carter told them, "you need some extra duck sauce."
There were some people who defended Carter.
"People can not have fun now days with anything... everything is always something, but at least you got your food lol!" wrote trishamhayes.
