I agree with you. It definitely makes you lose respect for someone when they make racist comments or impersonations based on stereotypes or racist thoughts and opinions. Like you said, some kpop artists tend to emulate some parts of African American culture in their music and dance yet will turn around and make blacks the bud of their jokes on a consistent basis. I've seen them make fun of other races as well and it's such a turnoff. If these artist want to expand outside of Korea, they need to learn how to respect people of other cultures just as they would want others to respect theirs.
