yup i heard about this. apparently the girls are all butthurt and now their management company is thinking about suing TMZ: http://www.koreaboo.com/news/yedang-entertainment-responds-tmzs-racist-coverage-exid/gotta love it. i've had koreans laugh in my face when i try and speak korean. i've had my accent mocked so many times i've lost count, and my pronunciation isn't really that bad most of the time. but now a US TV show makes fun of the way a korean speaks english and there's talk of a lawsuit. gotta love it. the hypocrisy in this country is absolutely mind-boggling sometimes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTr3ofVedwIFirst, isn't TMZ a show, not a channel? Second, it's known to be the lowest of the low. It's endlessly mocked and used as a reference for the downfall of Western civilization. Third, the annoying girl tried for about 3 seconds to make fun of the accent and then the guy tells her NO, STOP. Yeah, they're all laughing, but the joke is that the white girl is being stupid and racist. Fourth, I can't believe I'm defending TMZ. This is what Korea has made me into.

However the first two sounded more like a Korean person with an American accent and a Korean person with a British accent.

How is making fun of an accent even racist? Accent isn't connected to a race, but is a regional sound. I've had my accent made fun of so many times and have never cried racism.
