Nobody here is condoning this behaviour. In fact, we're criticising both the Korean and western elements of it.

The point many people here are trying to make is - Korea should not throw a hissy fit when it is on the receiving end of something it does so frequently, and often with glee.

Not all Koreans agree with Korean media making fun of non-Koreans, the same way not all westerners agree with western media making fun of Koreans.

Thanks for your reply, but a lot of these posts are lessening the extent of the situation. As I've mentioned before, what does EXID have to do with all the ignorance happening in Korean media? What do the two share in common? On one point, I agree with you. Koreans who enjoy the racism in Korean media should not throw a hissy fit when it comes to the EXID, TMZ coverage.

Oatmealkooky,
I felt when the Twin Towers went down in 2001. Should I have thought then too? All conspiracies aside, I suppose America deserved the tragedy because of the U.S government's often times, unnecessary activity in the Middle East? A huge comparison, but I don't understand your logic.

I can't explain how many times I've experienced this, in and out of Korea.

A little late to the party on this quote, but I though I would comment anyway. leonardlee, If you were trying to make some point besides raising my blood pressure by equating 9/11 to a 20 second tmz video I really don't see what it was. Your comparison is equivalent to me telling a random Korean I know how they feel about comfort women, because I had someone cut in front of me to get on the bus today and now we both feel wronged........ Yeah, isn't that stupid? I am sure what Oatmealkooky was trying to say is that we should always think and use our intelligence before reacting to something. Your trying and equate these two situations, even in an attempt to be absurd, is quite poor taste.

As for how the EXID thing is related to Korean media please reread the quote you commented on from waygook. I mean, can't you admit that it is hypocrisy on the part of famous people to speak out against this tmz clip by claiming racism or what not, when they have never in the past ever called other Korean shows out on this issue?

Oatmealkooky gave me some advice to kick in my inner logos. My logic tells me that this coverage was racist. I thought about this for a while, before I decided to post in this thread. I do agree, the parallel I drew between 9/11 and TMZ was absurd, that was the point.

I don't care what other Korean celebrities have to say about this. I'm speaking from my point of view. Calling out that EXID girl and the Asian-American, TMZ employee was uncalled for.

Yeah it was inappropriate. But who gives a shit. On the scale of important things, its somewhere near the bottom.
My God, you must walk around in fits of tears and anger in your everyday life. I see more offensive shit then this on my daily commute to work. Calm down.

What a shitty life you live zola.

Yip becuase i dont agree with your perpetual poor me, faux outrage. I'm not the one with hurt feelings. My life is fine. The sun is shining.
You are, I think, literally crying about an idiotic TMZ video. I hope you will recover.

hell even as a gyopo, im currently dealing with a lot of racism cause of my "different" accent but that TMZ video was really F'ed up. You just cant say cause some koreans are racist that we should tolerate racism towards koreans. if that was the case we should tolerate racism towards black, hispanic and white people because many are racists to others, right?

You're on a site where people are crying for vengeance against Korean society  .
Just as Koreans get together to talk about the odd things foreigners do, foreigners get together to talk about Koreans this Korean that, which ultimately evolves into more one dimensional views that spiral out of control. Welcome to waygoooook.

Who brought accusations of racism into this? The numskull in the TMZ clip was making fun of the singer's way of speaking English, not her race. (And Korean isn't a race, anyway.)

"Waaah, waaah, the world is picking on poor little pure-blood Korea again!" Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? So lay off the cries of racism. This non-story is just one moron making fun of another moron in a celebrity gossip bit about a low-level, craptastic group of singing mannequins.

The media has shamelessly mocked the First Lady's accent but it's racist when they do it to a kpop star?

Yeah, I've read all sorts of shit about her being Russian.

Yeah, that collusion.

Imagine she was from Mozambique?

"How do we know she isn't funneling aid to Africa?"

YEAH, THAT WOULD NEVER BE SAID.

She answered, hassle. He couldn't understand a word she said.

Angry LOL

Imagine going into a situation thinking "I won't understand it."

Some talk show hosts and comedians have done impersonations of Melania Trump. Five years ago, a trashy tabloid reporter mocked a Korean's accent. The connection between these events is obvious.

I'm so angry about something!
