Rap Mon..... why? {rant}
I saw on Twitter right before the storm hit that Rap Monster said something during an English interview that upset fans. Although the fans laughed, you could tell they were uncomfortable with what he said.

He said that he "Couldn't find V or Jhope because they were too black".
For someone who is heavily into rap and spent time with ing Coolio and Warren G, you would think that he would be freaking cautious about what he says. Not only did he make a fool out of himself, but that type of low key ignorance is what is gonna affect BTS as a whole from performing in the US with that colorist remark.
Does he deserve death threats because of it? No. Does he someone to educate him about what he did was wrong? Yes.
I honestly hope no one pulls any while they are in the US for their TBR tour because I would hate it if they decided not to come back to America for a long time.
I do want to know is... Will we get an apology out of him? Unlikely.
I've noticed certain trends that idols do. They make a mistake and once the Knetz complain, they make an apology, but if us Inetz complain but the Knetz dont, they don't apologize.
And the way they treat international fans is starting to irritate me. We never get apologizes when we are offended but if an idol offends Korean fans apologizes are immediately given. Like, you're fine with taking our money and performing for us but god forbid you offend your fans that arent Korean. You cant be an international star and don't consider your fans that come in different shapes, sizes, and skin tones.
Now the fans that are darker in skin tone are gonna be hurt when they see him because "Why should I take a picture with him since he can't see me?". Idols need to think a bit more about what they say before they speak.
I'm sure they would be offended if someone said "Hey, are you sleeping? Open your eyes!" when we all know they are open. It's the same thing.
But I shouldn't solely take it out on just Rap Mon since he isn't the only one who has made remarks like that because Chanyeol and Baekhyun make comments like that towards Kai. Same with members of Sistar towards Hyorin.
This type of topic should be taught in the companies and I think the person to teach them should be freaking Tasha/ Yoon Mirae~
Can we sign a petition and get freaking Yoon Mirae to educate these idols please? :/
Anyways, did you guys hear about previously to my post? What do you think about it?
