"Pappadum" is a Wiggles song from the Wiggle House album and video. This song caused controversy in 2020 after a Twitter user called out the song for its racist stereotyping of the Indian culture, with other users also describing it as racist. This caused Anthony Field to apologize stating "It was not my intention to be culturally insensitive to the Indian community, or to add value to ethnic stereotyping."[1]
