WHAT IS THAT GWEN STEFANI ON?

I dont know if you have noticed, but that big chinned bleached all over 'pop' star 'gwen stafani' has got a foursome of identical japanese girls who follow her everywhere, they are even included in her videos (usually doing stuff that is demeaning).
am i the only person to think this is all a bit wierd? she treats the clones the same way other stars treat their little yappy dogs (except she lets her pets walk instead of carrying them everywhere). now this smacks to me like an unconcious touch of rascism, it looks like to me that gwen has discovered the over the top politeness and loyalty of the japanese and decided to adapt it to employ herself four full time grovelling fawners, im sure at home she sits back on silk cushions like a godess as she is served food, drink and ego boosts by women who repeatedly bow backwards out of the way afterwards, as is the japanese way (if its ever happened to you it is weird, no offence to the bowers of course). it seems gwen has mined a seem of japanese culture and used it for feeding her own ego. as for the 'clones' im sure they are having the time of their lives, after all they do treat pop stars like mini gods, and women are taught to lead of a life of service even today (go girl power eh gwen?).
but that isnt the point, like it or not, those poor girls are having their 2000+year culture shrunken down to a 'wild' fashion statement by a woman who, apart from coming from the planets youngest culture (which has a large part of the population who cant find europe on a map), has nothing but her own public 'zany' image to keep up. i wouldnt call it cultural rape but there is a creepy wondering hand on the packed bus going on there.
the whole thing reminds me in a vague way of the black and white minstrels show, but only subtly, to see what i mean check out her promo stuff and there they will be, obiently standing in line unmoving till they are told to follow "miss gren". like i said, wierd.
