#1: G-Dragon Oh, G-Dragon…
Racist Moments of KpopWhere do we even begin? G-dragon has an incredibly long, damaging history of serial antiblackness and damaging cultural appropriation .
Black people get shamed, ridiculed and lose jobs and opportunities every single day for our hair. Throwing on an afro or cornrows to look “edgy” for a day completely makes light of our struggles and perpetuates the commodification and objectification of our bodies.
So congratulations, G-dragon! For not one but two instances of blackface in one year, for perpetually appropriating from and commodifying black bodies and aspects of black culture and just consistently ting on black people as you have been for a long time now. For all of that you earn the #1 spot on this year’s list.
