About Chen's 'Racist' Remark
If you have a problem with anything I say, feel free to either un-friend me or block me. Don't care, just don't want drama over my opinion.
Alright, so if those of you who don't know what happened, basically CBX was doing a V-Live and Chen supposedly said something that was 'racist'. Now I say supposedly because for some strange reason, international fans can't figure out what he's saying.
I dunno, maybe because they're not Korean?
Everyone (specifically on Twitter) is running around saying they know exactly what he's saying, the culture behind it, blah blah blah. Excuse me, are you Korean or fluent in the language? Have you lived in Korea? Chances are, probably not.
I said this in my feed earlier, but the fact that people are saying "all Koreans are racist" is pissing me off to the point that I've returned to this topic on my blog. Generalizing a entire race for being racist is pretty much going against their own words. How can you call Chen racist and then be racist yourself? I don't understand the logic behind what these people are saying.
I get it. Chen said something controversial, and I'm not saying he didn't. But comparing yourself to a cartoon character (or a movie character, whatever) is now racist? So if I say I look like a Simpson, I'm 'racist'?
If you're asking SM for an apology, I highly doubt you'll get a genuine one. SM is a Korean company. And since all of you have decided that we're all racist, then you definitely won't get one.
We're conservative. I was raised in both Korean and America, so I know what both worlds are like. Sorry, but we can't correct what generations after generations have said, or have done. It's not Jongdae's fault for saying something supposedly 'racist'. In Korea nobody really cares, to be honest. Why? Because they've heard hundreds of other idols say this, hundreds of their friends and family say this kind of stuff.
If you want to justify that he messed up, don't ing translate it yourself if you're not Korean. Don't analyze what he said if you don't understand the culture in Korea. Korea is not America or another country. You blowing up at Jongdae is not going to change anything.
This is so blown out of proportion. Chen is an angel, all EXO-Ls know this, and he would never say it with the intention to hurt anybody. Since when has Chen had a scandal?
We're talking about the person who told saesangs to hurt him instead of the members. HE EVEN WEARS NO RACISM SHIRTS AND HATS, LIKE WTF ARE Y'ALL SAYING?
Also, if you're in another fandom, get the out of here. You always tell us to only pay attention to what happens to you, so do the same for us. (ARMY I'm looking at you.) Antis are so quick to attack Chen for this without even thinking about it. "Not your fandom, not your problem."
Alright, I'm done.
