1. [+1,869, -49] What he said isn't incorrect but it's illogical of him to tell that he didn't intend to hold upward racist when he slanted his eyes together with yet when somebody else does it, they're beingness racist against Black people. He should know how to reverberate on his ain actions if he wants to struggle the wall of racism. It feels a flake incorrect to tell that it's racist for others but fine for yourself... Black lives affair but thence exercise Asian lives ^^

4. [+111, -6] He himself said that at that topographic point was no pregnant behind his activeness of slanting his eyes. Why is it okay for him but it's racist when others exercise it? His employment is  that he forgot that he's a good loved celebrity inwards Korea but went behind Korea's dorsum to gossip close them. I don't desire to come across him on TV anymore, or inwards word articles...

5. [+107, -3] Black people are racist against Asians too. He should larn gear upward that inwards his ain abode the world earlier trying to schoolhouse some other country. It's annoying that he thinks Koreans are an slowly target together with that he tin give notice brand his coin hither but set us downwards too.

6. [+60, -3] He's putting downwards Koreans inwards a roundabout agency to telephone holler upward himself right.. but it seems that nosotros are on unlike pages amongst Okyere. If Koreans genuinely hated Black people together with looked downwards on them, yous would've never been allowed on TV ^^ As a whole, Koreans won't onset yous unless yous mess amongst us first.

We're the ones beingness harassed past times Black people thence why are yous cosplaying every bit the victim?
