or that's what some people think at least

Oh yeah know I remember, I never watch the video of that show so that kinda lost in my mind. But she's not the only one being racist in KPop, if you know there was an article regarding that in omona, some other singers pulled a black face and not to mention Yuri's so-called Black impersonation during Invincible Youth. I guess the racist stereotyping about African American runs in Kpop's veins :|

Yeah it's very sad and I find it very offending because they take music and dances from African American culture and then they make fun of African American people. Gosh, I hate the steoreotype that black people are scary! UGH! makes me so mad. >.< Yeah I've lost some respect for Yuri now I just found out about that one yesterday. *sigh*
I never liked Taeyeon now I'm not a huge fan of Yuri either, kinda. *sigh* It's dissapointing really. ;_;''

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.
