The Watch The Tax Collector OnlineChainsmokers have definitely let us down.
The EDM-pop band have found themselves under fire for a racist joke they made with a Chinese reporter while in China.
SEE ALSO: The Chainsmokers crashed a prom, didn't misspell anythingIn a video shared on their Twitter page, band member Alex Pall can be seen making a joke about not bringing his dog to China.
A Chinese interviewer is seen asking Pall if he brings his dog on tours with him, to which Pall replies "Well, I don't know if I'd bring her to China," before cracking into laughter.
The interviewer can be seen looking at the camera in surprise.
The video has now been deleted off the band's page, but has already been widely circulated online.

The band were in the Chinese capital of Shanghai for Ultra, an EDM festival.
Naturally, people called them out on their behaviour.

The Chainsmokers later posted an apology on Twitter, with Pall saying he had made the comment after reading "reports about dogs being slaughtered in certain provinces" in China.

However, he made sure to drive the point home with a link to Stop Yulin Forever, an activist site which aims to stop the Yulin Dog Meat Festival that is held in China annually -- presumably to justify what he had previously said.
Some people thought that attempt at an apology seemed feeble, at best.
Not to mention the caption was "😂😂☺" come on man

Looks like it might be too little, too late for the Chainsmokers.
