1. [+2,118, -88] What made me realize that Sam mightiness remove keep negative feelings most Korea is that he went out of his agency to tag 'teakpop'. He claims to non remove keep known what that tag was for but that makes no sense. He himself has a history of racism amongst the slanted eyes in addition to he chose to brand Koreans out to endure racists past times using that tag. I but desire him to run dorsum to his country. That's the cleanest solution.

2. [+1,721, -48] If Koreans were racist, would he remove keep been able to run such a celebrity in addition to brand all this money? And if he was angry amongst the Koreans for this, he should've kept his master copy postal service to Korean but he equally good wrote it inward English linguistic communication in addition to tagged an irrelevant kpop hashtag to screw Koreans over. Then, equally if embarrassed past times the world, he wrote an apology inward Korean in addition to unopen his comments. He seems to remove keep an inferiority complex, in addition to his actions remove keep been cowardly in addition to malicious.

3. [+1,214, -25] The coffin trip the lite fantastic leader himself posted the Uijeongbu High students in addition to congratulated them. He has no employment amongst the picture.

4. [+893, -112] He made Koreans out to endure fools to the globe in addition to ruined our country's image. He needs to exit for Republic of Ghana immediately. An apology volition non serenity this. I loathe that he's living inward Korea at all anymore. Make him exit the solid set down in addition to remove keep downwardly all TV shows featuring foreigners. I no longer desire to encounter them.

5. [+478, -13] Okyere is but a foreigner who speaks Korean. We should non endure surprised if he ever says that he hates Koreans.

6. [+429, -2] This mightiness endure an slow effect to overlook but Sam specifically said that Koreans needed to endure "educated", that they're "ignorant", in addition to tagged the whole postal service amongst 'teakpop' amongst the intent to tell the globe that Koreans are racist. If he felt that in that place was racism at play, he could've expressed himself inward but Korean then why did he brand that dissever English linguistic communication post? Why aren't those high schoolhouse students allowed to costume themselves the existent agency Ghanaians look? It's non similar they tin portray a dark someone amongst white skin, tin they? It's obvious the students had pure intentions, in addition to I know that Okyere apologized but the fact that he wrote a dissever postal service inward English linguistic communication shows deliberate intention to lay Koreans down.

7. [+249, -4] He's really lenient amongst himself. Fine, let's state it was blackface. The teens were incorrect for non knowing that but what's your excuse for non knowing most slanted eyes equally a human being inward your thirties?

8. [+182, -5] To summarize this whole thing, these Asian students who aren't good versed inward the history of blackface parodied a famous meme, which Sam Okyere chose to postal service on his SNS at a fourth dimension when people are already sensitive amongst the Black Lives Matter movement. He tagged 'teakpop' to convey inward unusual attending in addition to to tell them, "look, this is how racist in addition to ignorant Koreans are". If Sam Okyere really wanted to develop most the racism of blackface, he should've started his postal service a kinder vogue amongst the history of blackface in addition to urged Koreans to endure to a greater extent than mindful of it.

9. [+179, -16] If Koreans were then racist, could someone similar yous ever remove keep run such a celebrity? Stay serenity in addition to screw off... I was e'er uncomfortable amongst seeing yous on TV anyway.

10. [+128, -2] Sam!!!! Leave!!!! Back to your country...!!! I don't know how good educated your solid set down is but leave!!! Don't come upwards dorsum on TV!!!! Do yous mean value our solid set down is a joke because yous brand your coin here????????

11. [+104, -1] But why.. instead of 'kpop'... did he tag 'teakpop'? I actually promise he didn't exercise it amongst malicious intentions... delight mean value earlier yous act... earlier yous speak...

12. [+76, -0] I but didn't encounter a argue for him to postal service those students in addition to brand a mockery out of them to the entire world. He's a populace figure. If he felt that it was racist, he should've used it equally a instruction chance most how such parodies are perceived inward unusual countries.
